2. Without ammunition, the U.S. Air Force would be just another expensive flying club."

3. "I remember when sex was safe and flying was dangerous."

4. "Mankind has a perfect record in aviation; we've never left one up there!"

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

6. "The three most common "famous last words" in aviation are: "Why is it doing that?" "Where are we?" and "Oh SH*T!"
