MILITARY WORDS OF WISDOM
------------------------------------------
"If the enemy is in range, so are you."
Infantry Journal
------------------------------------------
"It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed."
U.S. Air Force Manual
------------------------------------------
"Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons."
General MacArthur
------------------------------------------
"You, you, and you .... Panic. The rest of you, come with me."
U.S. Marine Corps Gunnery Sgt.
------------------------------------------
"Tracers work both ways."
U.S. Army Ordnance
------------------------------------------
"Five second fuses only last three seconds."
Infantry Journal
------------------------------------------
"Any ship can be a minesweeper....Once."
------------------------------------------
"Never tell the Platoon Sergeant you have nothing to do."
Unknown Marine Recruit
------------------------------------------
Clean it, if it's Dirty.
Oil it, if it Squeaks.
But: Don't Screw with it if it Works!
USAF Electronic Technician
------------------------------------------
"If you see a bomb technician running, keep up with him."
USAF - Ammo Troop
------------------------------------------
"Yea, Though I Fly Through the Valley of Death,
I Shall Fear No Evil.
For I am at 80,000 Feet and Climbing."
------------------------------------------
"You've never been lost until you've been lost at Mach 3."
Paul F. Crickmore ( test pilot, SR-71 )
------------------------------------------
A Navigator's Definition of Latitude & Longitude:
Latitude is Where We are Lost; Longitude is How Long We've been Lost There!
USAF Navi-guesser
------------------------------------------
"The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire."
------------------------------------------
"If the wings are travelling faster than the fuselage, it's probably a helicopter -- however, it's probably unsafe in any case "
------------------------------------------
"When one engine fails on a twin-engine air plane, you always have enough power left to get you to the scene of the crash."
------------------------------------------
"What is the similarity between air traffic controllers and pilots?
If a pilot screws up, the pilot dies;
If ATC screws up, .... The pilot dies."
------------------------------------------
The three most common expressions (or famous last words), in aviation are:
"Why is it doing that?"
"Where are we?"
and
"Oh Shit!"
------------------------------------------
"Airspeed, altitude and brains.
Two out of three are needed to successfully complete the flight."
------------------------------------------
"Mankind has a perfect record in aviation.
We never left one up there!"
------------------------------------------
"Flying the air plane is more important than radioing your plight to a person on the ground who is incapable of understanding or doing anything about it."
------------------------------------------
"The Piper Cub is the safest air plane in the world;
it can just barely kill you."
Attributed to Max Stanley (Northrop test pilot)
------------------------------------------
"There is no reason to fly through a thunderstorm in peacetime."
Sign over squadron ops desk at Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ, 1970
------------------------------------------
"If something hasn't broken on your helicopter, it's about to."
Heard muttered by Dale Woods
------------------------------------------
"You know that your landing gear is up and locked when it takes FULL power to taxi to the terminal."
------------------------------------------
As the test pilot climbs out of the experimental aircraft, having torn off the wings and tail in the crash landing, the crash truck arrives; the rescuer sees a bloodied pilot and asks, "What happened?"
The pilot's reply: "Beats the shit outta me, I just got here myself."
"If the enemy is in range, so are you."
