djpacro Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Studies have shown the vast majority of pilots believe they are above average in airmanship. Of course, half of us are not. But we can get better. Will you join me on a journey into the Inner Art of Airmanship? Flying the plane, grooving with gravity . . . ...

hihosland Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 Once you have learned to fly your plane, it is far less fatiguing to fly than it is to drive a car. You don't have to watch every second for cats, dogs, children, lights, road signs, ladies with baby carriages and citizens who drive out in the middle of the block against the lights. . . . Nobody who has not been up in the sky on a glorious morning can possibly imagine the way a pilot feels in free heaven. — William T. Piper, president of Piper Aircraft Corporation.

hihosland Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 Courage is the price that life extracts for granting peace. The soul that knows it not, knows no release from little things. The soul that knows it not knows no release from little things. Knows not the livid loneliness of fear, Nor mountain heights, where bitter joy can hear The sound of wings. — Amelia Earhart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregrobertson Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 To swoop and turn and dive and to play amongst the clouds, To watch the sun glint on the wings above the earth bound crowds, To gaze down upon a flattened earth laid out in miniature below, These thrills, these pleasures,and such contentment only birds and pilots know.

GraemeK Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Not sure if its been mentioned before, but one of my favourites is from Keith Miller, famous Australian cricketer and wartime fighter pilot - when asked about the pressure of test cricket: "Pressure, I'll tell you what pressure is. Pressure is a Messerschmitt up your arѕe, playing is not." (hope that's not too offensive, but that was the exact quote) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hihosland Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 If you push the stick forward, the houses get bigger, if you pull the stick back they get smaller. To go up, pull the stick back. To go down, pull the stick back harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
