What good does it do to be afraid? It doesn't help anything. You better try and figure out what's happening and correct it.

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.

Rules are made for people who aren't willing to make up their own.

After about 30 minutes I puked all over my airplane. I said to my self, "Man, you made a big mistake."

That to me is a bunch of crap trying to shoot guys up into damned space. What they're going to do is they're going to wipe out half a dozen people one of these days, and that will be the end of it.

Everybody that I've ever seen that enjoyed their job was very good at it.

At the moment of truth, there are either reasons or results.
