If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing.

You can always land on your feet if you know where the ground is.

It is a comfortable feeling to know that you stand on your own ground. Land is about the only thing that can't fly away.

If you think, 'I'm jumping out of a plane at 30,000 feet!' you're not going to do it. But if you just jump out, then you'll have an interesting ride.

Oldtimers, weekends, and airplane landings are alike. If you can walk away from them, they're successful.

Sometimes you just have to jump off the cliff without knowing where you will land.

What I like about land is I can drive out and check on it. It doesn't go anywhere. It's hard to steal land.

The best advice I can give you about falling is to never land.

I'm a career Air Force officer. We have a saying in the Air Force: 'If you want people to be with you at the crash, you've got to put them on the manifest.' And so I was always of the view to almost leave no stone unturned when you're up there briefing the Hill.

And I don't want to jump out of an airplane - I've done that.
