Sad news. Great actor. Unforgettable character.

Don't forget oddest airline career progression ever!

Mechanic for TWA to Vice President of Operations for Columbia to Consultant for Phillip Stevens to Concorde Captain for Federation World.

The book said what you just did was impossible!

That's the thing about the 707... She can't read!

**** Pile, I just wrote that elsewhere. Same exact quote.

RIP Sir!

Joe Patroni: You chickened out on me! I told you I wanted all the power you got!
Capt. Benson: Full throttle and this plane would be standing on its nose.
Joe Patroni: You might fly these things but I take them apart and put them back together again. If you had any guts we'd be on the runway by now.
Capt. Benson: You felt it vibrating? Another 10 seconds and we'd have had structural damage.
Joe Patroni: Who do ya think you're talking to, some kid that fixes bicycles? I know every inch of the 707! Take the wings off this and you could use it as a TANK! This plane is built to withstand anything... except a bad pilot.
Capt. Benson: You might tell your mechanic that I've got three million miles in the air.
Joe Patroni: And two and a half feet into the ground

Not many people have the skills to fire a flare gun going Mach 2. God speed!

Godspeed Mr. Patroni. You Sir were a Giant among men.
