Friday Wisdom — Airplanes

Posted on 04/26/2024 by Andrew Reynolds

We’re getting ready for a vacation and soon I’ll be flying on airplanes. Here’s everything I know about them:

Always keep your number of takeoffs equal to your number of landings.

A good landing is anyone you can walk away from.  A great landing is when they can use the plane again.

The only time you have too much fuel is when you’re on fire.

The two most useless things to a pilot: The sky above you and 30 seconds ago.

A pilot’s favorite day is Flyday.

Just remember that the silver lining you see in that cloud, could be another airplane flying right at you.

Two wrongs don’t might a right, but two wings make an airplane.

I wanted to buy an airplane, but they told me I couldn’t keep the hanger.

Don’t expect fancy food on an airline flight — it’s plane food.

The propeller on an airplane is just a big fan to keep the pilot cool. When it stops you can actually see the pilot start to sweat.

Be careful at the airport — you don’t want a terminal illness.

I’ve heard they’re making an invisible airplane. I can’t see it taking off.

What’s the difference between an airplane pilot and God? God doesn’t think he’s a pilot.

    I’m not keen on flying – but crashing concerns me far more…

    What fun! Where are you headed this time? (Last year’s commentary was entertaining.)
