Some rules of the air for flyboys...

Recommended Posts

I got this out of the August 2001 Readers' Digest. Thought some of you pilots might like it:
Some rules of the air for flyboys:
- Every take off is optional. Every landing is mandatory.
- When in doubt, hold on to your altitude. No one has ever collided with the sky.
- The propeller is just a big fan in front of the plane used to keep the pilot cool. When it stops, you can actually watch the pilot start sweating.
- The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.
- Stay out of clouds. The silver lining everyone keeps talking about might just be another airplane traveling in the opposite direction.
- You start out with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before emptying the bag of luck.
- There are three simple rules for making a smooth landing. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.

Anyone have any more???

-A 'good' landing is one from which you can walk away. A 'great' landing is one after which they can use the plane again.
-The three most useless things to a pilot are the altitude above you, runway behind you, and a tenth of a second ago.
-You know you've landed with the wheels up if it takes full power to taxi to the ramp.
