The guy in the airplane goes with you. So he has self-interest to do the good things, too, and I don't know of any pilots that don't have a self-interest in staying alive.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It is cool to make a pilot because you get to do all the fun stuff, and then you get to leave when all the tough stuff starts.
Every pilot thinks they're the best pilot in the world. I think I'm the best pilot.
The experienced fighting pilot does not take unnecessary risks. His business is to shoot down enemy planes, not to get shot down.
Pilots take no special joy in walking. Pilots like flying.
I have often been asked what I think about at the moment of take-off. Of course, no pilot sits and feels his pulse as he flies. He has to be part of the machine. If he thinks of anything but the task in hand, then trouble is probably just around the corner.
When I get on a plane, I don't want a laid-back pilot. I want a pilot who is a control freak, who is paying attention to every single detail of his job.
Like, to do a pilot, you don't know what's going to happen with it.
I've done a lot of pilots. A lot of shows. You're young and you do a job just because you know someone gave you a job.
Every pilot I've ever written, I've fallen deeply and madly in love with. It's the only way I work.
I think aerobatic pilots make the best pilots because you know, you're just so confident in an aeroplane. If you're gonna get into trouble, I'd rather be with someone that's a skilled aerobatic pilot.
