Some good ones I have not seen. Here are a couple more (technically, Mightygem it was not me who was shouting but the voice of ages )

"Flying is the second greatest thrill known to man. Landing is the first."

"The emergencies we train for almost never happen, it is the one we didn't train for that will kill you."

"Never test the depth of water with both feet."

"Being ambivalent in the air is a great recipe for trouble."

"Work is for people who do not fly."

"Gravity never loses, the best we can hope for is a tie."

"Just remember if you crash because of weather, your funeral will be held on a sunny day."

"The probability of surviving a crash is equal to the angle of arrival."

"You know you have landed with the wheels up when it takes full power to taxi."

"A helicopter is a collection of rotating parts going round and round, reciprocating parts going up, down and side to side, all of them trying to become random in motion."

"Any attmept to stretch fuel is guarunteed to increase headwind."

"Pilots are quite capable of feelings such as love, affection and caring. Unfortunately they just do not involve anybody else."

"You have never really been lost until you are lost at Mach 3."

Of course I have never actually been lost, geographically misplaced a few times, but never lost.
