Viper: You boys get it all too easy, when we flew the Phantoms and the Crusaders, we flew them even with wings folded.
Maverick: Hold my beer.

Goddamit Maverick, when I asked you how you were going to attack the target with no cannon ammo and you said you'd just "wing it" I thought you were being metaphorical!!

"In this case, a safe landing isn't the only measure by which we judge your airmanship. There's the damage to Tower Bridge to consider as well."

OR

...must remember the wings need to be swept back before flying through Tower Bridge...

Putting the refueling probe out isn't going to help!

The DofE finally gets type no 60 in his logbook. Pity it's only a one way flight.

I don't think the excess insurance for light dings you took out will cover this.

Right, when we land, just get out and walk away. Don't look at anyone, don't talk to anyone. Just walk. If anyone with more bars stops us, it was like that when we took off, ok?

Somehow I always thought when people talked about the "clipped wing version" that they meant both wings.

I know you are an exchange pilot Hoskins....but saying 'I thought you landed on the right' is not an excuse...
