Pilots Quotes : pic 001436036
There's this funny thing with pilots that you have to sign the contract to do the whole job before you're even offered the part. And they make about a million pilots a year, but hardly any of them get turned into series.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001777427
You are the pilot of your destiny. Your actions are the plane.

Pilots Quotes : pic 000926077
I tell my employees that we're in the service business, and it's incidental that we fly airplanes.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000399844
They kill hundreds of people, those pilots. I would have loved to have flown the plane that dropped the bomb on Japan. A couple of dudes killed hundreds of thousands. That f****** rules! Yeah!
Pilots Quotes : pic 000719542
I pay those guys to fly, so let them fly. I'll be damned if I'll pay them to just sit there.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000074060
It is hard enough for anyone to map out a course of action and stick to it, particularly in the face of the desires of one's friends; but it is doubly hard for an aviator to stay on the ground waiting for just the right moment to go into the air.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000413974
The forces of Hannibal, Drake and Napoleon moved at best with the horses' gallop or the speed of wind on sail. Now, aviation brings a new concept of time and distance to the affairs of men. It demands adaptability to change, places a premium on quickness of thought and speed of action.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000229855
Sometimes you read pilots and, understandably, they're doing such a frantic tap dance for approval. I get why - it's such an incredibly competitive market.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000832134
When I was the director of Central Intelligence in the early '90s, I tried to get the Air Force to partner with us in building drones. And they didn't want to, because they had no pilots.

A top World War II ace once said that fighter pilots fall into two broad categories: those who go out to kill and those who, secretly, desperately, know they are going to get killed-the hunters and the hunted.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000846551

And I fly planes all the time. And helicopters.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001818149
I've produced more pilots than United Airlines, and they've all been disasters. Every audition I ever took in my life I lost.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001543659
Everybody wants to fly. At some stage in their lives, everyone looks up in the sky and sees the seemingly effortlessness of a bird in the gulf of air overhead and thinks: I wish, just one time, that could be me.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001200931
When I get on a plane, I don't want a laid-back pilot. I want a pilot who is a control freak, who is paying attention to every single detail of his job.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000167467
Humans have a proven track record in taking over planes by the use of threats, which work because the legitimate pilots value their own lives and those of their passengers.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000425266

Pilots Quotes : pic 000971911
You may never know which specific moments of your life fuel someone's pilot light with inspiration when they need it most.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000482650
Fighter pilot is an attitude. It is cockiness. It is aggressiveness. It is self-confidence. It is a streak of rebelliousness, and it is competitiveness. But there's something else - there's a spark. There's a desire to be good. To do well; in the eyes of your peers, and in your own mind.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000934164
There's a joke in the aviation industry that the ideal aircrew in today's modern aircraft would be comprised of a man and a dog. The dog is there to bite the man if he so much as tries to touch the controls, and the pilot's one remaining job is to feed the dog!
Pilots Quotes : pic 000086890
Flying prevails whenever a man and his airplane are put to a test of maximum performance.

Only those who dare may fly

The engine is the heart of an aeroplane, but the pilot is its soul.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000615927
Aviation, this young modern giant, exemplifies the possible relationship of women and the creations of science. Although women have not taken full advantage of its use and benefits, air travel is as available to them as to men.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001290209
Fly with a kind heart, a light spirit, and a resilient soul.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000133972
And your Winston Churchill says such good things about the pilots (the Polish ones, too).
Pilots Quotes : pic 000007216

....Everyone deserves a chance to fly!
Pilots Quotes : pic 000457981
During World War II, the pilot losses were staggering. In some bombing raids, as many as 80% of the planes that left did not return.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001659143
Flying is hours and hours of boredom sprinkled with a few seconds of sheer terror.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000852913
Behind every successful flight, lies the will, full of thrust, against the wind; the will to win.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001462596
I want to help you "fly right" in the gathering storms of the last days. You are the pilots. You are responsible to think about the consequences of every choice you make. Your righteous choices will keep you from getting off course.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000925478
A computer will perform a takeoff or landing with all the grace of a person. It is only for combat
only for the artistry of ruin
that these vessels have pilot seats at all anymore. There is something in humanity more suited to the mechanics of murder than any machine yet devised.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000108445
Even though I'm a family guy, there is something that feels really beautiful about eliminating all children from flying. So, children have to fly on child-only planes. And the pilots have to be children as well.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001478505
Choose. Fly or die.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000126157
Pilots track their lives by the number of hours in the air, as if any other kind of time isn't worth noting.

A superior pilot uses his superior judgment to avoid situations which require the use of his superior skill.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001691595
Aviation is for the common man. My goal is to enable everyone to fly. It shouldn't be only for the rich.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001521554
For more than fifty years, or long before the Wright brothers took up their part, would-be "conquerors of the air" and their strange or childish flying machines, as described in the press, had served as a continuous source of popular comic relief.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001875451
Damned planes. Too confining, too noisy - too fucking high in the air.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001037690
Aviation has struck a delicately balanced world, a world where stability was already giving way to the pressure of new dynamic forces, a world dominated by a mechanical, materialist,
Western European civilization.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001199197
I'm a long-flight pilot. Pushing a little bubble of air-filled metal across an ocean of nothing is what I was born to do.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001111919
One of my great joys in life is being a pilot. There is a great sense of freedom in soaring through the sky. You get a different perspective up there. Seeing things that aren't so apparent from the ground.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001444752
If, sir, men were all virtuous, I should with great alacrity teach them all to fly. But what would be the security of the good if the bad could at pleasure invade them from the sky? Against an army sailing through the clouds neither wall, nor mountains, nor seas could afford any security.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001274676
Tailor gang they rolling up those paper planes.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000032891
Being a display pilot is probably the thing I've been most proud of in my life. Don't really fly anymore now though. I have three small children and as most of my friends were killed in different accidents, I realised that it was probably just a matter of time before I went that way.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001069015
They are a bunch of fish covered in feathers trying to convince the public they can fly, and I am simply a bird in their midst.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000020804
Anyone can fly. All you need is somewhere to go that you can't get to any other way. The next thing you know, you're flying among the stars.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001048484
I'm not a ranger, I'm a pilot.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001791895
Everything has changed. The flying changed. The airports have changed.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000278624
Flying is hypnotic and all pilots are victims to the spell. Their world is like a magic island in which the factors of life and death assume their proper values. Thinking becomes clear because there are no earthly foibles or embellishments to confuse it.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001087800
'Twenty One Pilots' is a play by Arthur Miller, who also wrote 'All My Sons.' It's about a guy who's creating and developing parts for airplanes in war time, when it comes to his attention that some of these parts were faulty.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000444082
More die in flight than in battle.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000787871
In every squadron there were, perhaps, four or five pilots who exuded confidence. They knew that they were going out to shoot. The rest knew sub-consciously, that they would make up the numbers, mill about, and get shot at.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000648991
I did pilots here and there but mostly I was doing little bits in movies.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001493781
I've heard that George Clooney did something like nine pilots before 'ER' was picked up, way back when he was doing TV. It's just the way the business works. There are a lot of pilots that we've never seen. It's protocol.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000670806
To be a great pilot you have to make a pact with the devil, but don't let him swallow you up.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001600227
Flying High with the Angels
Pilots Quotes : pic 001437231
If idiots could fly, this place would be an airport.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000604267
In any other job, they're truck drivers. In show-biz, they're Transportation Captains.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001304854
We're fresh out of flying boys.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000934206
Aviation is poetry ... It's the finest kind of moving around, you know, just as poetry is the finest way of using words.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000861629
Anybody can pilot a ship when the sea is calm.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000728507
With all the knowledge and skill acquired in thousands of flights in the last ten years, I would hardly think today of making my first flight on a strange machine in a twenty-seven mile wind, even if I knew that the machine had already been flown and was safe.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001579733
Boys can't be stewardesses, and girls can't be pilots.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000934198
Death is the handmaiden of the pilot. Sometimes it comes by accident, sometimes by an act of God.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001029492
I hate flying. Know why? Because no one really understands how planes actually work.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001579734
Stewardesses were a joke to many of us coming of age in the liberated Sixties. They were no joke in the women's movement that liberated us, however.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001097208
Any pilot can describe the mechanics of flying. What it can do for the spirit of man is beyond description.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000168990
It was among the knowledgeable others that one hoped to be talked about and admired. It was not impossible - the world of squadrons is small. The years would bow to you; you would be remembered, your name like a thoroughbred's, a horse that ran and won.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001504519
Flying, for some reason, has never been my favorite thing, but after taking some aviation classes and reading about it and learning about it ... They've been doing this for over a hundred years, they've been to the moon and back; they kind of have a good system going here.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000400406
This is why being a helicopter pilot is so different from being an airplane pilot, and why in generality, airplane pilots are open, clear-eyed, buoyant extroverts, and helicopter pilots are brooding introspective anticipators of trouble. They know if something bad has not happened it is about to.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001388093
Flying is the only active profession I would ever continue with enthusiasm after the War.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001777731
If the Wright brothers hadn't put their lives on the line, we would not be flying around the world these days. So we need pioneers.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001710861
The very, very beginning is that my mother and father were aviators.
Pilots Quotes : pic 001814187
We are poor mortals, but it dreams to us that we can fly.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000650904
Your life will fly by, so make sure you're the pilot.
Pilots Quotes : pic 000436738
Great pilots are made not born ... A man may possess good eyesight, sensitive hands, and perfect coordination, but the end result is only fashioned by steady coaching, much practice, and experience.
