Flying wit and wisdom? “When one engine fails on a twin-engine airplane, you always have enough power left to get you to the scene of the crash.” (Multi-Engine Training Manual) “Without ammunition, the Air Force is just an expensive flying club.” (Unknown) “If you hear me yell, ‘Eject, Eject, Eject!’ the last two will be echoes. If you stop to ask ‘Why?’, you’ll be talking to yourself, because by then you’ll be the pilot.” (Pre-flight briefing from a Canadian F104 Pilot) Never trade luck for skill. (Unknown) As the test pilot climbs out of the experimental aircraft, having torn off the wings and tail in the crash landing, the crash truck arrives. The rescuer sees the bloodied pilot and asks, “What happened?” The pilot’s reply: “I don’t know, I just got here myself!"
