What I saw were two F-16 jets and they were circling overhead a single-engine plane and other jet fighter pilots were banking very quickly. And I saw them fire two warning flares in the direction of the single-engine plane.
George Bernard Shaw

Back in those days, going to the moon, geology was important, ... But how do we train pilots to be geologists? We concentrated on observing, not the analytical parts of the rocks.
Jim Lovell
There are two kinds of pilots; those who fly to get where they're going and those who fly for the fun of flying. These guys are definitely the latter.
David Hahs
We are continuing to meet with representatives of the pilots union, and we continue to make progress on a new contract.
Bill Mellon
If the yaw damper fails, this has the potential of pushing the rudder further than the pilots intended it to go, which could cause control problems.
Jim Mckenna
I have flown in just about everything, with all kinds of pilots in all parts of the world - British, French, Pakistani, Iranian, Japanese, Chinese - and there wasn't a dime's worth of difference between any of them except for one unchanging, certain fact: the best, most skillful pilot has the most experience.
Chuck Yeager
One of the most important criteria for the Air Force is to have it self-contained, and Midland already has everything in place, ... I'm confident the Air Force will pick the best location for its pilots' training program.
Mike Conaway
The pilots were normally willing to fly those trips.
Joe Hopkins
In fact, ... You will only attack bridges between ten o'clock at night and four o'clock in the morning. That creates a sanctuary and makes the kids (allied pilots) very, very predictable as to how we're going to do our business.
Michael Short
This regional jet flying issue is so crucial to our careers that any negotiated agreement that would lose any of that flying would be a significant setback for our pilots.
Wade Blaufuss
The good news is that catastrophic crashes are happening less and less. Planes are now made so well and pilots and crews are trained so well, a lot of things that were very problematic with airline safety are now things of the past.
Darryl Jenkins
It's a good experience because our players get to go in the cockpit. I ended up going in the cockpit when we were taking off. It just gives you a great appreciation for what we're all about at the Air Force Academy and our players having a chance to interact with the pilots. I know our players are always excited, especially the freshmen.
Ardie Mcinelly
There is a tremendous shortage of pilots in India.
Dinesh Keskar
Know that you are making a difference, ... They are going to be future school board members, doctors, lawyers, pilots.
Suellen Reed
I hope one day that China's pilots will fly the skies in jumbo aircraft manufactured by their own country.
Li Jiaxiang
Hopefully the airline will be able to expand and we'll have some growth, and bring back our furloughed pilots. That's what we're looking for, is a future.
Don Burnham
In the old days, in the '30s, they (beacons) were strung along for airway lights so pilots could navigate.
Paul Siems
Most pilots learn, when they pin on their wings and go out and get in a fighter, especially, that one thing you don't do, you don't believe anything anybody tells you about an airplane.
Chuck Yeager
How dare you do a training exercise at night in a combat zone? And how dare you not tell the pilots?
David Beck
This is a dispute that should never have happened. This is an irrational one. These pilots are the best paid in the country. Air Canada had offered them a 4.5 percent salary increase per year in a context where inflation stands 1.5 percent lower.
Jacques Kavafian
A lengthy strike by the pilots ? probably anything over 30 days ? would be a disaster. I don't think the pilots would strike with the intention of putting Northwest out of business. Miscalculation. That's the problem.
John Remington
We've got maybe a few hundred (without gas) scattered in the two communities. Providing we can have access to homes to re-light pilots, we will have everyone back on today.
Alicia Dixon
John determined that he should resign after it became clear to him that, although I and a majority of our board members were supportive and encouraging, there would be insufficient support from the heads of the International Association of Machinists and the Air Line Pilots Association for him to succeed me as chairman and chief executive officer.
Gerald Greenwald
That may not seem like much of a change, but it could hamper our ability to get more service here because it causes pilots to lose opportunities to land.
Rick Griffith
We're giving pilots a black runway.
John Duval
Clearly the flag was there, ... because the intercepts show that the helicopter pilots saw it immediately, before they ever even got up to the ship.
James Bamford
This (loss of pressure) occurred during the ascent ... We are still investigating why the pilots continued their ascent and did not respond properly.
Akrivos Tsolakis
Some of those pilots were very high-time pilots, with the best airline transport rating, which is the highest license a pilot can have, ... Some of them were only transport pilots with many thousands of hours of flying time that could not manage to fly this airplane.
Don Kennedy
The only mystery in life is why the kamikaze pilots wore helmets.
Al McGuire
For the pilots, it's a thinking man's game.
Rick Searfoss
It was strange when I first came to the airline. The pilots freaked out because they suddenly saw their CEO pushing the ladder (to the plane).
Tony Fernandes
Pinnacle has not been provided details of the tentative agreement between Northwest and its pilots, and therefore, cannot comment on its substance.
Philip Reed
The fact of the matter is in that labor negotiations both sides understand that labor strife is counterproductive. Pilots don't strike for the hell of it. They don't needlessly place their employer in dire jeopardy.
Bruce Simon
Pilots are a scarce resource given China's rapidly growing aviation industry. An increase in fleet size calls for more pilots.
Wang Wanlong
When you think about . . . going into another country for the first time, it's a little daunting, ... I contacted the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, and it was somewhat helpful, but they referred me to Baja Bush Pilots, and the information I got from them was far more helpful.
James Webb
The Northwest management and the pilots represented by the Air Line Pilots Association met in the board's offices on Wednesday and Thursday. They didn't schedule a new meeting date.
Jim Armshaw
My part of the contract is to do all we agreed to do where the safety and well-being will be taken care of. Pilots have to adhere to procedures and regulations.
Gardner Brown
They had no choice. If they didn't agree to it, a bankruptcy judge would impose it. It's in management's best interest - and the pilots - to have everyone agree to the cuts so they don't have morale problems.
Vaughn Cordle
The pilots of tomorrow are the plane buyers of tomorrow.
Phil Boyer
We want our pilots to focus on contract negotiations. We want them to prepare emotionally, financially, for a potential strike on April 1.
Karen Miller
Certainly we feel that international jet pilots are worth earning more than $18,000 a year.
Paul Lackie
I think it generally falls below the pilots' expectations, but it raises the bar for the pilot group to build off of in the future.
Bill Olsen
ALPA (the Air Line Pilots Association) believes the interests of justice will be served ... if another judge takes the case.
Bruce Simon
Pilots would get there and would be walking around and people would ask if they could fly someone else out. Many of them flew the Operation Teacup mission, then went back for others we don't know about.
Fred Quarles
None of this was true. There were no flights. There were no children being rescued. There were no medical supplies being flown. There was no 7-month-old baby who needed a transplant. In fact, he didn't even have a pilot's license.
Alex Acosta
A Wedding in December ... The Pilot's Wife.
Anita Shreve
When the court asks to know just how rich pilots can get, her impartiality can be questioned.
Bruce Simon
There is relatively little damage to the propellers, ... And this of course would imply and back up the pilots' report of losing power on both engines.
George Black
Airlines are a very special case, particularly when it comes to pilots.
David Treitel
It's an attention-getter, but it's not blinding. It's not a distraction. So pilots can still focus on flying the aircraft without endangering anyone or themselves.
Michael Kucharek
When weapons are allowed back on board an aircraft, the pilots will be able to land the plane safely but the aisles will be running with blood.
Corey Caldwell
Based on past experience, it is likely that volunteer flying will continue to decline as the Reno Air dispute drags on without a negotiated solution that is fair to all of the pilots involved.
Rich Lavoy
Despite today’s filing, the collective bargaining agreement between ALPA and NWA remains in full effect. We expect NWA to honor the spirit of the agreements it made with pilots who have invested so much in their company.
Mark Mcclain
What we have heard from our pilots and the other pilots around, roughly 20 percent of the affected area has yet to be reached.
Geoffrey Krassy
Bad weather remains one of the greatest challenges facing pilots. For instance, when there's a thunderstorm, it becomes dangerous to fly. The cumulonimbus clouds are also dangerous as they cause a lot of turbulence.
Maipelo Kelotlegile
Today we have 2,077 pilots on the sick row.
John Hotard
I tested for a couple of pilots, but they said I was too tall.
Adam Baldwin
The pilots that were flying with him saw him eject.
Jim Brooks
We're gratified with the judge's order but clearly disappointed it has come to this. A majority of our pilots are doing their jobs and we hope the rest come back real soon.
Chris Chiames
We are obviously disappointed that the illegal job action undertaken by the Allied Pilots Association leadership so dramatically impacted our first-quarter financial results.
Donald Carty
The whole scene, it was basically a helicopter pilot's nightmare, because everything was basically wires or tower.
Dave Cooper
Life changed after that jump...I'd suddenly stepped to the highest level of daring, a level above even that which airplane pilots could attain.
Charles Lindbergh
Alaskan pilots have a one in eight chance of dying during a 30-year career, ... That's huge.
George Conway
There's two reasons why this happened, ... Either the (National Guard) pilots screwed up or they were playing games with our airplane and they got caught.
Mark Mcdonald
It was the expertise of the pilots that permitted the plane to land because the plane has not crashed. It has not fallen. The plane made an emergency landing and the accident occurred during the emergency landing.
Jorge Belevan
All's fair in job actions. But for the company to put four pilots out in Luanda, Angola, where there are major security concerns and they're in real harm's way is totally irresponsible.
Mark Ohlau
Our goal is to give pilots and air traffic controllers a day or two notice of a possible solar event.
Philip Scherrer
The pilot's skill made it possible to carry out an emergency landing and save lives.
Jorge Belevan
The whole scene [was] a helicopter pilot's nightmare, because everything was basically wires or tower.
Dave Cooper
The pilots understand. It's a critical time period.
John Malone
The thing you have to understand about fighter pilots is they never quite grow past the stage of little boys buzzing past girls on their bicycles.
Tom Clancy
It's a spectator event where we'll have AMA-certified pilots gather together. Only those with the certification can participate. But based off of last year's numbers we'll have 25 to 30 pilots.
Rafael Flores
Frankly, we aren't quite sure what it is going to take to please the pilots.
Chris Chiames
It seems that they deliberately kept the delays going . . . for part of their PR (public relations) battle and then they come out and sack 49 pilots unfairly.
John Findlay
I think the Delta pilots have always been willing to help the company in a time of need.
Keith Rosenkranz
We're developing 365 days a year now. So we're picking up fewer pilots than expected because we will keep developing for spring and summer 2007 throughout the year.
Kevin Reilly
[Still] Jolly Wally, ... delighted that John is going up, instead of me. He needs the flying time, I don't. I even gave up my pilot's license. Can't afford it.
Wally Schirra
If it's good enough for 2 percent of the pilots, why not all the pilots?
Peter Defazio
The pilots are key. This is critical. If they don't reach an agreement, it could be the end.
Alfred Marcus
We cannot legislate good judgment into the minds and hearts and souls of pilots, but we can erect some strong barriers.
James Oberstar
Our preference is to reach a resolution with the pilots directly and not involve outside parties.
Chris Chiames
The strike is the first by Iberia's pilot's since it was privatized and the company says the present row could lead to it losing $100m, canceling aircraft orders and cutting jobs.
Al Goodman
In that capacity he was in charge of all 36 pilots and all 36 or so aircraft in Alaska.
Bruce Woods
This man has been trained for 14 years, since he was a boy, and he's full of hate and he's full of revenge, and he's gotten his hands on the list of the eight pilots who bombed that particular compound, and he's going to kill every one of them, ... He goes about killing three or four before Corey gets the connection.
Nelson Demille
The pilots are responsible, realistic, qualified people, who know the (state of the) economy.
Jean cyril Spinetta
The pilots definitely have the power in this relationship. If they don't want to fly, you don't fly.
Helane Becker
[Pilots will] do anything to avoid Chapter 11, because it's guaranteed that the pensions are going to die, ... Pilots take it on the chin. Pilots face a catastrophic loss in standard of living or income when pension payment plans go bad.
Joseph Schwieterman
It's a bit more dangerous. Low-level pilots have the ability to descend before they get into trouble. But we have a great deal of confidence in our crew and our craft.
Dave Liniger
It's a lost art in our society to help others to this extent. Our pilots use their own planes and fuel to serve those with certain (conditions).
Reed Suddaby
It will help pilots better manage the course of the aircraft.
