Whats your favourite line out of an aviation film?
Bit of fun on an otherwise dreary week to come of no flying
We all know the classic ones from top gun, but whats your favorite line from any aviation film? I have to say, without a doubt mine is from Flight of the intruder Grafton: Well, this is the end of Devil Five- O - Five. Say goodbye, a@@hole! Cole: Goodbye A@@hole! Grafton: Eject, Eject, Eject!:} My Next would have to be Michael cain sitting in a spitfire waiting to depart in Battle of Britain, but i will leave that one for someone else. DBB |
Not really a "line" but I like the one where Howard Hughes (DiCaprio) is running his hand along some woman's "part" and in the next scene he is running it along an airframe making sure the rivets are flush.

Ah yes i remember that now, very good.
Was it the latest film or the original where he refused to fly because there were not enough clouds!! |
Something about the Boeing 707 not reading manuals.

Not from a film but from a book - The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
The scene is that Zaphod enters a field with derelict spacecraft. But one of those still seems intact. He enters and hears a voice: "Transtellar Cruise Lines would like to apologize to passengers for the continuing delay to this flight. We are currently awaiting the loading of our complement of small lemon-soaked paper napkins for your comfort, refreshment and hygiene during the journey. Meanwhile we thank you for your patience. The cabin crew will shortly be serving coffee and biscuits again." [...] ...he suddenly caught sight of a giant departure board still hanging, but by only one support, from the ceiling above him. It was covered with grime, but some of the figures were still discernible. [...] 'Nine hundred years...' he breathed to himself. That's how late this ship was. [...] In every seat sat a passenger, strapped into his or her seat. The passengers' hair was long and unkempt, their fingernails were long, the men wore beards. All of them were quite clearly alive - but sleeping. [...] 'You're the autopilot?' said Zaphod 'Yes,' said the voice from the flight console. 'You're in charge of this ship?' 'Yes,' said the voice again, 'there has been a delay. Passengers are to be kept temporarily in suspended animation, for their comfort and convenience. Coffee and biscuits are served every year, after which passengers are returned to suspended animation for their continued comfort and convenience. Departure will take place when the flight stores are complete. We apologize for the delay.' [...] 'Delay?' he cried. 'Have you seen the world outside this ship? It's a wasteland, a desert. Civilization's been and gone, man. There are no lemon-soaked paper napkins on the way from anywhere!' 'The statistical likelihood, ' continued the autopilot primly, 'is that other civilizations will arise. There will one day be lemon-soaked paper napkins. Till then there will be a short delay. Please return to your seat.' |
Harrison Ford and Ann Heche crash land on a Tahitian Island after their Beaver is struck by lightning. Whilst out looking for water they argue and she accuses him of ogling. He says she isnt his type anyway. She asks why? His reply is brilliant. "your stubborn, self opinionated, stuck up..........and your arse is too narrow and your tits are too small":D She then asks him "do you want to know why your not my type?" He replies "NOPE!". The film is six days seven nights and a good bit of light entertainment. There are many witty exchanges throughout.
