Rules for Safe Flying
Takeoffs are optional. Landings are mandatory.
If you push the stick forward, the houses get bigger, if you pull the stick
back, they get smaller. Unless you keep pulling the stick back--then they
get bigger again.
Flying is not dangerous; crashing is dangerous.
The propeller is just a big fan in the front of the plane to keep the pilot
cool. Want proof? Make it stop; then watch the pilot break out into a sweat.
The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.
Everyone already knows the definition of a "good" landing is one from which
you can walk away. Very few, however, know the definition of a "great
landing." It is one after which you can use the airplane another time.
The probability of survival is equal to the angle of arrival.
Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make all of
them yourself.
There are three simple rules for making a smooth landing. Unfortunately, no
one knows what they are.
The only thing worse than a captain who never flew as copilot is a copilot
who once was a captain.
It's easy to make a small fortune in aviation. You start with a large
fortune.
Try to keep the number of your landings equal to the number of your takeoffs.

Yeah, some of these are old but still funny.
