[An EP-3 LT referring to flight school]: "If you're not cheating, you're not trying"

And I've been trying real hard. (If any IPs are reading, I keed, I keed !
 
The ground always wins

Its better to be down here wishing you were up there, then up there wishing you were down here.

Primary IP's: "so what do you want to fly??"
every stud's responce: "I'll fly whatever they let me fly Sir"
every stud's thoughts: 'god I hope I get jets' :)

IP's in training learning something along the lines of: "If a stud is doing doing awesome on a flight....just wait...he/she is about to do something really dumb"

"Meatball, Lineup, AOA"...repeat!

"Its the big-boy program here"

"IF it Flys, Floats, or ****s....its always better to rent than to buy" (Three F rule)

"Use your big-boy voice on the radio"

I HATE that answer when I ask my friends that. It's weak. If you want jets, SAY IT. If you want helos, SAY IT. If you want P-3s, SAY IT. Most of the IPs in VT-2 that I had couldn't stand when a Stud answered that way.

Note: There is a difference between "whatever they let me fly" and "I don't know". Not being sure is legitimate, I can understand that.

You know that the Harrier can kick any other aircraft's ass in a true dogfight!
No, I didn't know that. And since you brought it up, what would a "true" dogfight consist of, anyway ?? Inquiring minds want to know .... :)
 
From a Boeing executive:

Today's airplanes are designed to have a pilot and a dog in the cockpit -- the pilot's job is to feed the dog and the dog's job is to bite the pilot if he touches anything.
 
For those of you guys who learned how to fly in a taildragger or are tailwheel-endorsed, you know what I'm talkin about...
"Right rudder... RIGHT RUDDER... RIGHT RUDDER!! DAMMIT, MY AIRPLANE!!!!"
My dad, who taught me how to fly, always says this:
"If you can land 10 feet to either side of centerline, you can land ON the centerline. Always strive for perfection."
