Everyone should learn how to fly, but before you do - read the manual:
WISDOM FROM FLIGHT TRAINING MANUALS

'If the enemy is in range, so are you.'
-Infantry Journal-

'It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed'
- US.Air Force Manual -

'Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons.'
- General Douglas MacArthur -

'Tracers work both ways.'
- Army Ordnance Manual-

'Five second fuses last about three seconds.'
- Infantry Journal -

'Any ship can be a minesweeper. Once.'
- Naval Ops Manual -

'Never tell the Platoon Sergeant you have nothing to do.'
- Unknown Infantry Recruit-

'If you see a bomb technician running, try to keep up with him.'
- Infantry Journal-

'Yea, Though I Fly Through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I Shall Fear No Evil. For I am at 70,000 Feet and Climbing.'
- Sign over SR71 Blackbird Wing Ops-

'The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.'
-Unknown Author-

'When one engine fails on a twin-engine airplane, you always have enough power left to get you to the scene of the crash.'
-Multi-Engine Training Manual-

'Without ammunition, the Air Force is just an expensive flying club.'
-Unknown Author-

'If you hear me yell; "Eject, Eject, Eject!†the last two will be echoes.'
If you stop to ask "Why?", you'll be talking to yourself, because by then you'll be the pilot.'
-Pre-flight Briefing from a Canadian F104 Pilot-

'What is the similarity between air traffic controllers and pilots?
If a pilot screws up, the pilot dies; but If ATC screws up... the pilot dies.
-Sign over Control Tower Door-

'Never trade luck for sk**l.'
-Author Unknown-

The three most common expressions (or famous last words) in military aviation are: 'Did you feel that? What's that noise? and 'Oh No!'
-Authors Unknown-

'Airspeed, Altitude and Brains. Two are always needed to successfully complete the flight.'
-Basic Flight Training Manual-

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

'You know that your landing gear is up and locked when it takes full power to taxi to the terminal.'
- Lead-in Fighter Training Manual –

As the test pilot climbs out of the experimental aircraft, having torn off the wings and tail in the crash landing, the crash truck arrives. The rescuer sees the bloodied pilot and asks, 'What happened?'
The pilot's reply: 'I don't know, I just got here myself!'

Hope this starts your day with a laugh

You are the 3rd person - so you have made my day. Got an email once that said if you can at least make 3 people smile it will make your day.

Thanks to the 3 of you.
