Your favourite aviation adage - let's hear it!

[Red Line]

I was reading the "There's old pilots and bold pilots....." thread in the bush forum and saw some good sayings including:

Good judgement comes from experience; and experience comes from bad judgement.

and

A pilot uses superior judgement to keep out of situations that would require the use of superior skill.

Mine is a transport canada favourite: Learn from the mistakes of others, because you wont live long enough to make them all yourself.

I know there's lots more out there. Let's hear 'em!

"The four most useless things in aviation are runway behind you, altitude above you, fuel in the bowser, and a field-grade navigator in the right seat"

"In Aviation, you start with a full bag of luck and an empty bag of experience. The goal is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck."

There are only 3 things a good wingman should ever say:

1) "Two's up"
2) "Lead's on fire"
3) "I'll take the fat one"

It's better to be down here wishing you were up there, than to be up there whishing you were down here.

If it becomes apperent the a prang is inevitable, endevour to hit the softest, least expensive object possible.

Every takeoff is optional. Every landing is mandatory.

Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make all of them yourself.

Never let an aircraft take you somewhere your brain didn't get to five minutes earlier.

Remember that the radio is only an electronic suggestion box for the pilot. Sometimes the only way to clear up a problem is to turn it off.

Flying isn't dangerous. Crashing is what's dangerous.

The three most useless things to a pilot are the altitude above you, runway behind you, and a tenth of a second ago.

Pilots with short props or low manifold pressure, please taxi closer to the pump. The next guy may not be on floats.

WITH ENOUGH THRUST, LIFT IS IRRELEVANT

FIGHT TO FLY, FLY TO FIGHT, FIGHT TO WIN

GET A HIGHER EDUCATION, LEARN TO FLY

AIR FORCE: WHEN IT ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY HAS TO BE DESTROYED OVERNIGHT

PILOTS KEEP IT UP LONGER

HOLD YOUR STICK, OR LOSE YOUR BALLS

HELICOPTERS DON'T FLY, THEY BEAT THE AIR INTO SUBMISSION!

REALITY IS FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN'T HANDLE SIMULATION

IFR PILOTS MAKE EXCELLENT BARTENDERS, THEY TEND TO SHAKE A LOT

RIP : REST IN PIECES

IN THRUST WE TRUST!

I FLY JETS, I AM SHIT HOT

HAVE A SUSTAINED AIRGASM, FLY F-16

IT'S NOT FOR THE KILL...IT'S JUST FOR THE THRILL OF THE CHASE

PATIENCE, MY ASS, I'M GONNA KILL SOMETHING

THERE ARE ONLY TWO KINDS OF AIRCRAFT:
FIGHTERS AND TARGETS

FLY WITH THE EAGLES,...OR SCRATCH WITH THE CHICKENS

EAGLES MAY SOAR BUT WEASELS NEVER GET SUCKED INTO JET AIR INTAKES

REMEMBER THE TIMES WHEN SMOKING WAS GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH, SEX WAS SAFE AND FLYING WAS DANGEROUS ?

shut up and bake me a cake....whoops...thats not aviation, sorry

Rule one: No matter what else happens, fly the airplane.

Flying is hours of boredom, punctuated by moments of stark terror.

Fly it until the last piece stops moving.

An airplane will probably fly a little bit overgross but it sure won't fly without fuel.

Experience is a hard teacher. First comes the test, then the lesson.

Always remember you fly an airplane with your head, not your hands.

Don't drop the aircraft in order to fly the microphone. - Cessna pilots are always found in the wreckage with their hand around the microphone

The three best things in life are a good landing, a good orgasm, and a good shit. A night carrier landing is one of the few opportunities to experience all three at the same time.

It only takes two things to fly, airspeed and money.

Forget all that stuff about thrust and drag, lift and gravity, an airplane flies because of money.

Do you see that propeller? Well, everything behind it revolves around money.

Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

"THE FASTEST ROUTE BETWEEN OBSCURITY AND FAME IS A STRIGHT LINE OF COCAINE WITH THE RIGHT PERSON"

I live by this quote.

[Adam Oke]

I was once told this.....

Multi time is like sex. Many souls roam the earth in search of it.

Some are willing to pay for it ,
Some want it for cheap ,
Some want it for free ,
and,
Some want to get paid for it .

Good luck in your journey, and remember, since it's just like sex, always be safe

[glorifiedtaxidriver]

if it floats flies or f-cks, rent don't buy.

the only time you can have too much fuel is when you're on fire.

when in doubt climb, no-one ever collided with the sky.
