CharyouTree Posted November 8, 2007 Report Posted November 8, 2007 Dunno if this applies to this thread: "No $hit, there I was, flying along fat, dumb and happy. Suddenly, I'm inverted with a sling load. How did I know I was inverted? My air medals were hitting me in the face." That one makes me giggle a bit Quote

volition Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 -"If you are in trouble anywhere in the world, an airplane can fly over and drop flowers, but a helicopter can land and save your life." -Igor Sikorsky, 1947 ►There are only 3 things a copilot should ever say:1. Nice Landing, Captain.2. I’ll buy the first round.3. I’ll take the ugly one. - "It takes infinitely more knowledge and skill to stop then land, than it does to land then stop!" Dr. Sergi Sikorsky -The difference between a fixed-wing pilot and a helicopter pilot is, a fixed-wing pilot is someone who always wanted to get into aviation but was really too scared to try it!!! -“The skill level of a helicopter pilot is equal to that of an aircraft carrier based jet fighter pilot and a lunar module operator” Cigar Aficionado, 2000 1 Quote
helojim39 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Posted March 23, 2008 A saying that I think is great is: Helicopters are nearly perfect, all they lack is the ability to forgive! Quote
Darkhorse Posted March 23, 2008 Report Posted March 23, 2008 (edited) Any landing you walk away from is a GOOD landing. Aviation is a perfect industry, we've not left one up there yet... Edited March 24, 2008 by Darkhorse Quote
