I like these little gems:
If you're faced with a forced landing, fly the thing as far into the crash as possible. (Bob Hoover)
It occurred to me that if I did not handle the crash correctly there would be no survivors.
(Richard Leakey, after engine failure in a single engine, Nairobi, Africa, 1993)
When a prang seems inevitable, endeavour to strike the softest, cheapest object in the vicinity as slowly and gently as possible.
(Advice given to RAF pilots during W.W.11.)
The emergencies you train for almost never happen. It's the one you can't train for that kills you.
(Ernest K Gann, advice from the 'Old Pelican')
