What about some new aviation sayings.

We all know that the good landing is one you walk away from, that you'd better fill your bag of experience before your bag of luck runs out, that if in doubt you should keep your altitude because no-one has ever collided with the sky, etc etc. But does anyone have any new aviation sayings? Let's all think of some. I'll start with one I use quite often...

EVERYTHING IN AVIATION TAKES TWICE AS LONG AND COSTS THREE TIMES AS MUCH AS YOU EVER WOULD HAVE BELIEVED POSSIBLE.

Any more? I always need fillers for the BWPA newsletter - I'm the editor - so I might use some of these if I like them...you have been warned.
