Common Aviation Quotes / Pearls of Wisdom

[Taz24th]

Had an instructor tell me these in IFS:

1) A Jewish man sees a female bear eat a Chek man, and he tells everyone in town that a male bear ate a man in the woods. Moral of the story: Never trust a jew , when he says a check is in the mail .
2) Easy on the controls Lieutenant (I think he kept thinking we were Air Force or something).
3) Treat the airplane like a lady, not your b*^#$.
4) Don't tug on the stick like you masturbating.
5) Don't call me Sir, I work for a living (IP was a former Army E-6)
6) Ooooohhhh this one is gonna hurt.

Thanks Jay, and I took all your lessons to heart man :icon_smil .

Although I (slightly) disagree with this, as told to me by a helo bubba:
"Look, the only impressive thing a helo can do at an air show is crash". (He was on his way to Oceana's air show)

And one of the instructors at Whiting:
"No I didn't want to fly rotary wing. I had no great desire to be able to touch a tree while in the cockpit".

One of the sayings that inspired me to go helos was"If you ain't in the zone, you ain't in the war" Helos do their most impressive things at non airshow events.
What is IFS? Never heard of it when I went through but that was when dirt was new.

Ha ha! You were scared weren't you!

Yeah, I did not just see lightning keep going.

As one of my former CO's like to say:

"A night cat shot is the direct result of a poor pre-flight."

Screw you Raptor :icon_tong , I was talking to a Marine, I was putting it in terms he could understand.

A common IP saying in the Air Farce when I went through Chuck-130 training was: "Don't do anything Dumb, Different, or Dangerous" (The infamous Three D's).

And isn't there a Navy Jet saying, to the effect:

"The greatest things in life are a great orgasm, a great sh!t, and a great landing. A night trap is your chance to experience all three". (Corrections please).

(Edited to make it less ignorant).

Night trap... cat shot is the launch part

Thanks for the correction. An edit is in order....

The only thing I know about carrier aviation is that a C-130 once did multiple landings and take offs from one.

Gracias again.

Following a very dark night trap...our XO proclaimed to the ready room watching the plat for the recovery that, "It was darker than a black felt hat full of dirty assh0les out there tonight."
