Flying Hi
Landing On An Aircraft Carrier
The three best things in life are a good landing, a good orgasm, and a good shit. A night carrier landing is one of the few opportunities to experience all three at the same time.
Landing on an aircraft carrier during the daytime is like sex, it's either good or it's great. Landing on a carrier at night is like a trip to the dentist, you may get away with no pain, but you just don't feel comfortable.

Definitions of Good Landings
Every one already knows the definition of a 'good landing' is one from which you can walk away from.
But very few know the definition of a 'great landing' It's one after which you can use that airplane again.
Russian Planes
Good God - These Fly?
If it’s ugly, it’s British; if it’s weird, it’s French; and if it’s ugly and weird, it’s Russian.
The worst day of flying still beats the best day of real work.
You can only tie the record for flying low.
Flying at night is the same as flying in the day, except you can't see.
A good simulator check ride is like successful surgery on a cadaver.

As a pilot only two bad things can happen to you and one of them will be:
1. One day you will walk out to the aircraft knowing that it is your last flight.
2. One day you will walk out to the airplane not knowing that it is your last flight.

The stewardess, flustered, brings back a whisky for the parrot and forgets the coffee.
When this omission is pointed out to her the parrot drains its glass and bawls "And get me another whisky you idiot".
Quite upset, the girl comes back shaking with another whisky but still no coffee.
Unaccustomed to such slackness the man tries the parrot's approach "I've asked you twice for a coffee, go and get it now or I'll bitch slap you".
The next moment, both he and the parrot have been wrenched up and thrown out of the emergency exit by two burly stewards.
Plunging downwards the ground, the parrot turns to him and says "For someone who can't fly, you complain too much!"
Stewardess's Comments
1. "Please be sure to take all of your belongings. If you're going to leave anything, please make sure it's something valuable."
2. "Thank you for flying Delta Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride."
3. "As you exit the plane, make sure to gather all your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses."
4. Passenger to stewardess "Superman doesn't use a seatbelt!" Stewardess to passenger "Superman doesn't use a plane to fly, either."

Pilots OpinionAsking what a pilot thinks about the FAA is like asking a fireplug what it thinks about dogs. |
Going PeacefullyI want to die like my grandfather did, peacefully in his sleep, Not screaming in terror like his passengers. |
