That is not me saying that. Its a quotation just FYI.

Well written quote by one of the 85% who somehow thinks they are in the "5%" of total sky gods.

Another legend in his own mind leading the trailing edge of technology.

This sounds like one of those guys who then proceeds to scare the daylights out of you in the cockpit and you have to secretly save his bacon on a minute by minute basis to get there alive. But man, if you even make it obvious once that he screwed up, you're going to get another one of these "I am an aviator" speeches.

Who wrote this quote? What an idiot.

Those who talk the loudest usually are the weakest.

You forgot the remaining 4.3% of us that can't add.

First off you're on national television. Shave the scent saver and put on something nicer than blue jeans and a tee shirt.

Second. When you go to demonstrate the stopping capabilities of the 777 on a 4000' strip on nation television.... make sure you use reverse thrust. Even the anchor and the retired 777 (real) pilot had a hard time from busting up when they started to see dirt, grass and trees go by!

Smooth move buddy.......:D

Apparently his employer wasn't too pleased with the unprofessional image he presented, either...

Spoiler... he was fired!

A wise old pilot once told me

"Anything over 69 1/2 is waste of effort."

What is it they say in the Navy?

"If the Minimum weren't good enough, it wouldn't be the minimum!"

or was it, "Anything over 70% is just showing off!"

and at the Air Force Academy,

"If you have to cheat to win... WIN!"
