Aviation Adages and Bravado

Here are some "one liners" I have heard over the years from
fellow airmen. Enjoy.
:)
If helicopters are so safe, how come there are no
vintage/classic helicopter fly-ins?
An old pilot is one who can remember when flying was dangerous
and sex was safe.
There are only three things a wingman should ever say:
1. Two is up.
2. Lead you are on fire.
3. I'll take the fat chick.
The ideal pilot is the perfect blend of discipline and
aggressiveness.
[i]He who demands everything that his aircraft can give him is a
pilot; he that demands one iota more is a fool.
There are certain aircraft sounds that can only be heard at
night, over water or rugged terrain.
Flying is a hard way to earn an easy living.
New FAA motto: We're not happy 'til you're not happy.
Never fly the "A" model of anything!
Never fly anything with paint still on the rudder pedals!
Never jump out of an airplane unless it's burning.
Always strive to have the same number of takeoffs and landings.
There's three things of no use to any aviator:
The altitude above you,
The runway behind you
The fuel in the truck.[/i]

Good stuff Bruce!
Helicopters don't fly. They beat the air into submission.
