Pilot wisdom

Messaggio da 72sq_Iva »

Da un'email del capo della mia scuola di volo:


If the enemy is in range, so are you." Infantry Journal
---------------------------------------------
"It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed."

U.S. Air Force Manual []
---------------------------------------------
"Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons."

- General MacArthur []
---------------------------------------------

"You, you, and you .... Panic. The rest of you, come with me."

- U.S. Marine Corps Gunnery Sgt.
> ---------------------------------------------

"Tracers work both ways."

- U.S. Army Ordnance
---------------------------------------------

"Five second fuses only last three seconds."

- Infantry Journal
---------------------------------------------

"Any ship can be a minesweeper....Once."
---------------------------------------------

"Never tell the Platoon Sergeant you have nothing to do."

- Unknown Marine Recruit
---------------------------------------------

Clean it, if it's Dirty.

Oil it, if it Squeaks.

But: Don't Screw with it if it Works!

USAF Electronic Technician
----------------------------------------------------------------

"If you see a bomb technician running, keep up with him."

USAF - Ammo Troop
--------------------------------------------

“Yea, Though I Fly Through the Valley of Death ,

I Shall Fear No Evil. For I am at 80,000 Feet and Climbing."
---------------------------------------------

"You've never been lost until you've been lost at Mach 3."

- Paul F. Crickmore ( test pilot, SR-71 )
---------------------------------------------

A Navigator's Definition of Latitude & Longitude:

Latitude is Where We are Lost,

&

Longitude is How Long We've been Lost There!

USAF Navi-guesser
--------------------------------------------

"The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire."
---------------------------------------------

"If the wings are travelling faster than the fuselage, it's probably a helicopter -- however, it's probably unsafe in any case "
---------------------------------------------

"When one engine fails on a twin-engine air plane, you always have enough power left to get you to the scene of the crash."
---------------------------------------------

"What is the similarity between air traffic controllers and pilots?

If a pilot screws up, the pilot dies;

If ATC screws up, .... The pilot dies."
---------------------------------------------

The three most common expressions (or famous last words), in aviation are:

"Why is it doing that?"

"Where are we?"

and

"Oh Sh..t!"
--------------------------------------------

"Airspeed, altitude and brains.

Two out of three are needed to successfully complete the flight."
--------------------------------------------

"Mankind has a perfect record in aviation.

We never left one up there!"
---------------------------------------------

"Flying the air plane is more important than radioing your plight to a person on the ground who is incapable of understanding or doing anything about it."
-------------------------------------------

"The Piper Cub is the safest air plane in the world; it can just barely kill you."

- Attributed to Max Stanley (Northrop test pilot)
---------------------------------------------

"There is no reason to fly through a thunderstorm in peacetime."

- Sign over squadron ops desk at Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ, 1970
---------------------------------------------

"If something hasn't broken on your helicopter, it's about to."

Heard muttered by Dale Woods!
---------------------------------------------

"You know that your landing gear is up and locked when it takes FULL power to taxi to the terminal."
---------------------------------------------

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 a bloodied pilot and asks, "What happened?"
The pilot's reply: "Beats the sh...t outta me, I just got here myself."
