    Air Force Truisms

    Air Force Truisms
    “Never fly in the same cockpit with someone braver than you.”
    “The only time you have too much fuel is when you’re on fire.”
    “Weather forecasts are horoscopes with numbers.”
    “Airspeed, altitude, and brains: Two are always needed to successfully complete the flight.”
    Humankind has a perfect record in aviation; we’ve never left one up there.
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    There is only one compulsory manoeuvre in flight

    Any landing you walk away from is a good one.
    If at first you don't succeed - so much for skydiving.
    They're fuel tanks, not air tanks.

    My version of Buys Ballot's Law (meteorology): If you're standing in a pub with your back to the bar (southern hemisphere), the hot chicks will be on your left

    And any landing where you can use the plane again is a great one.
