    To all you pilots out there

    Not sure if this has been posted before ,but who cares?

    Basic Flying Rules
    1. Try to stay in the middle of the air.
    2. Do not go near the edges of it.
    3. The edges of the air can be recognised 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.
    You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.
    Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!

    Aviation's most useless things.

    Runway behind you.
    Air in the fuel tank.
    Altitude above the wing.

    It's always a good idea to keep the pointy end going forward as much
    as possible.

    Pussy breaks most of those rules without really thinking that hard about it.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Whatchoo talking about, James? I'm a responsible agrimicultural pilot!
    I've always liked the explanation of why there are twin engined aeroplanes... it's because if one engine fails, you've got something to listen to while you're crashing

    Never run out of altitude and airspeed at the same time.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Yep, with a twin-engined plane you have just enough power on one engine to reach the crash site...

    When a prang seems inevitable, endeavour to strike the softest, cheapest object in the vicinity as slowly and gently as possible.

    There was a pilot flying a small single engine charter plane, with a couple of very important executives on board. He was coming into Seattle airport through thick fog with less than 10 miles visibility when his instruments went out. So, he began circling around looking for a landmark. After an hour or so, he starts running pretty low on fuel and the passengers are getting very nervous.

    Finally, a small opening in the fog appears and he sees a tall building with one guy working alone on the fifth floor. The pilot banks the plane around,rolls down the window and shouts to the guy, "Hey where am I?"

    To this, the solitary office worker replies, "You're in a plane."

    The pilot rolls up the window, executes a 275 degree turn and proceeds to execute a perfect blind landing on the runway of the airport 5 miles away. Just as the plane stops, so does the engine as the fuel has run out.

    The passengers are amazed and one asks how he did it.

    "Simple," replies the pilot, "I asked the guy in that building a simple question. The answer he gave me was 100 percent correct but absolutely useless, therefore that must be Microsoft's support office and from there the airport is just five miles due East."

    Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes
