While we're on sayings about pilots .... a good pilot can always get out of trouble, a REALLY good pilot never gets into trouble in the first place.

The three worst things to hear in the cockpit:
The second officer says, "Oh s*#t!"
The first officer says, "I have an idea!"
The captain say, "Hey, watch this!"


There is an art to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
