Little Humor to pass the time!

Picked this up off of SIMHQ as posted by 531_Wolf....thought we could use it here also! :P

 

Here ya go, enjoy:

Blue water Navy truism; There are more planes in the ocean than there are submarines in the sky.

 

If the wings are traveling faster than the fuselage, it's probably a helicopter -- and therefore, unsafe.

 

Navy carrier pilots to Air Force pilots: Flaring is like squatting to pee.

 

When one engine fails on a twin-engine airplane you always have enough power left to get you to the scene of the crash.

 

Without ammunition the USAF would be just another expensive flying club.

 

What is the similarity between air traffic controllers and pilots? If a pilot screws up, the pilot dies; If ATC screws up, the pilot dies.

 

Never trade luck for skill.

 

The three most common expressions (or famous last words) in aviation are: "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh S#!+!"

 

Weather forecasts are horoscopes with numbers.

 

Progress in airline flying; now a flight attendant can get a pilot pregnant.

 

Airspeed, altitude or brains. Two are always needed to successfully complete the flight.

 

A smooth landing is mostly luck; two in a row is all luck; three in a row is prevarication.

 

I remember when sex was safe and flying was dangerous.

 

Mankind has a perfect record in aviation; we never left one up there!

 

Flashlights are tubular metal containers kept in a flight bag for the purpose of storing dead batteries.

 

Flying the airplane is more important than radioing your plight to a person on the ground incapable of understanding it or doing anything about it.

 

When a flight is proceeding incredibly well, something was forgotten.

 

Just remember, if you crash because of weather, your funeral will be held on a sunny day.

 

Advice given to RAF pilots during W.W.II. When a prang (crash) seems inevitable, endeavor to strike the softest, cheapest object in the vicinity as slowly and gently as possible.

 

The Piper Cub is the safest airplane in the world; it can just barely kill you. (Attributed to Max Stanley, Northrop test pilot)

 

A pilot who doesn't have any fear probably isn't flying his plane to its maximum. (Jon McBride, astronaut)

 

If you're faced with a forced landing, fly the thing as far into the crash as possible. (Bob Hoover - renowned aerobatic and test pilot)

 

If an airplane is still in one piece, don't cheat on it; ride the ******* down. (Ernest K. Gann, author & aviator)

 

Though I Fly Through the Valley of Death I Shall Fear No Evil For I am at 80,000 Feet and Climbing. (sign over the entrance to the SR-71 operating location Kadena, Japan).

 

You've never been lost until you've been lost at Mach 3. (Paul F. Crickmore - test pilot)

 

Never fly in the same cockpit with someone braver than you.

 

There is no reason to fly through a thunderstorm in peacetime. (Sign over squadron ops desk at Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ, 1970).

 

The three best things in life are a good landing, a good orgasm, and a good bowel movement. The night carrier landing is one of the few opportunities in life where you get to experience all three at the same time. (Author unknown, but someone who's been there)

 

"Now I know what a dog feels like watching TV." (A DC-9 captain trainee attempting to check out on the 'glass cockpit' of an A-320).

 

If something hasn't broken on your helicopter, it's about to.

 

Basic Flying Rules

 

Try to stay in the middle of the air.

Do not go near the edges of it.

The edges of the air can be recognized by the appearance of ground, buildings, sea, trees and interstellar space. It is much more difficult to fly there.

You know that your landing gear is up and locked when it takes full power to taxi to the terminal.

"Navy carrier pilots to Air Force pilots: Flaring is like squatting to pee."

Just realizing that 351_Seawolf had already posted this bit of humor and I apparently was suffering from occipital Rectalitis (You eye ending is where your bottom is and you have a Sh*&%y out look for the day!), I thought that I had better post something that HAD NOT been posted before! (Sorry about that Seawolf)

How to Tell the Difference Between the Branches of the US Armed Forces!

If you give the command "SECURE THE BUILDING", here is what the different services would do:

The NAVY would turn out the lights and lock the doors.

The ARMY would surround the building with defensive fortifications, tanks and concertina wire.

The MARINE CORPS would assault the building, using overlapping fields of fire from all appropriate points on the perimeter.

The AIR FORCE would take out a three-year lease with an option to buy the building.

AP WASHINGTON - The Army announced their final operation in Afghanistan, Operation Taliban Eradication. Drawing on National Guard units from the deep-south the Army has assembled a team of Redneck Special Forces.

 

These forces have been given following briefing:

 

The limit is ten.

The season ends this weekend.

They taste just like chicken.

They don't like beer, pickup trucks, or country music.

Some are queer.

The Army expects this final operation to last about two weeks and to be more successful than Operation Anaconda.
