The engine is the heart of an airplane, but the pilot is its soul.
To most people, the sky is the limit. To those who love aviation, the sky is home.
The cockpit was my office. It was my home. It was everything to me.
The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.
The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease forever to be able to do it.
It is possible to fly without motors, but not without knowledge and skill.
The higher we soar, the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly.
The moment you become airborne, you leave a piece of yourself on the ground forever.
I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things.
I'd rather be in the cockpit of an airplane any day than be a president.
