That quote about 50,000 feet and climbing is actually 80,000 feet and it was written inside an SR-71 base (Or, that's what I heard, at least)

Some other good ones:

"It is better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air than in the air wishing you were on the ground." - Anonymous

"My center is giving way, my right is in retreat, situation excellent. I attack." - French general Foch at the Battle of the Marne

"We're surrounded. That simplifies our problem of getting to these people and killing them." - US general Chesty Puller during the Korean War

"Don't crash. The paperwork is monumental." - Anonymous

Not a quote, but a story: An F-15 pilot is escorting a C-130 on a long mission. The F-15 pilot gets bored, so he pulls in front of the C-130 and does a couple beautiful slow rolls. He then pulls back into formation and radios the C-130 pilot, "I bet you can't do that in your plane!" The C-130 pilot immediately responds, "Yeah, but I bet you can't do this!"

Curious, the F-15 pilot replies "Go ahead." He pulls back and watches the C-130, but the Hercules keeps flying along straight in level flight. After a couple minutes, the C-130 pilot comes back on the radio and says "There!" The confused F-15 pilot replies "What's so special about flying straight and level? Any plane can do that!" The C-130 pilot replies "Yeah, but I just went to the back and took a dump in the toilet."

I heard that one too, except when I heard it it was "took a leak and made a cup of coffee."

Not a famous quote but when I was in basic training for the USAF, the Drill instructor got in my face and asked me,

"You should be in the Army, boy! What the hell are you doing in my Air Force??"

I replied,

"I joined the Air Force because the enemy shoots at the Officers, sir!"

Got me some chuckles and in a lot of trouble!

That's why the Air Force has the smartest enlisted men. When it all comes down, only in the Air Force do the enlisted men send their officers off to fight and die.

Reminds me of the drill-sergeant from Full Metal Jacket barking at the grunts. Some hilarious stuff. :rotfl:

My favorite on your list:

Quote:

'If the wings are traveling faster than the fuselage, it's probably a helicopter

-- and therefore, unsafe.'
