Old Pilot Sayings......part 1

Every takeoff is optional. Every landing is mandatory.

Flying isn't dangerous. Crashing is what's dangerous.

A 'good' landing is one you can walk away from. A 'great' landing is one after which they can use the plane again.

The probability of survival is inversely proportional to the angle of arrival. Large angle of arrival, small probability of survival and vice versa.

When in doubt, hold on to your altitude. No one has ever collided with the sky.

Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make all of them yourself.

Stay out of clouds. The silver lining everyone keeps talking about might be another airplane going in the opposite direction.

Reliable sources also report that mountains have been known to hide out in clouds.
