And after takeoff, remember to retract the gear.
Umm, are you sure about that?

622 - you beat me by a couple of minutes, having caught a friend in French garage putting 3Bar in his Mondeo tyres, not 30psi!

Tommy Lee chose his aeroplanes in much the same way as he chose his women - big round pneumatic accessories were a must.

Smithers had followed the briefing to the very letter. He had opened the throttle progressively and smoothly. He had eased the stick forward to bring the tail up. He had fed in rudder to hold her straight. He was ready to gently ease back on the stick to get her airborne. The only slight fly in the ointment was that the mainwheels hadn't actually moved yet.
