From a San Diego Police Pilot flying a 206B over the city at night many years ago..........

"If it quits, turn on the Nightsun to see where you're going to land. If you don't like what you see, just turn it off, cos your goin' there anyway!"

From an old friend in the LASD Aero Bureau on gaining my IR........

"Congratulations on becoming a REAL pilot. Of course, now that you're a REAL pilot, you can get into REAL trouble, REAL fast!"

Thought from a colleague at the end of the third day in a procedure trainer at the start of his IR course........

"Wouldn't things be lovely if there was no wind!"
