Top 33 Air Pilot Sayings
#1. I am not optimistic or pessimistic. I feel that optimism and pessimism are very unbalanced. I am a very hard engineer. I am a mechanic. I am a sailor. I am an air pilot. I don't tell people I can get you across the ocean with my ship unless I know what I'm talking about.
R. Buckminster Fuller

Eddie Rickenbacker
#12. I grew up and I kind of took the road of becoming a pilot, which was another dream I had of flying, and once I did attend the air force academy, that dream of flying became more like a project, and I wanted to be a fighter pilot, which I did. I became a fighter pilot.
Luca Parmitano

Robyn Carr
#16. He said that it was very difficult to become an astronaut. I said that I knew.

Also I didn't have 20/20 vision, which you needed to be a pilot.
Mark Haddon

David Blatt
#26. I have a rule: I want the pilot flying me up in the air at 30,000 feet to make more than a guy working at Taco Bell.

Kapil Sharma
#29. I did the pilot, and when they came through and said they were going to put it on the air, I had already some dates in the book with my band and so on. So Barry did the first one, he may have done a few more than the first one in the series, and I took it up from then.
Humphrey Lyttelton
#30. Now that I know what goes into making a pilot, keeping it on the air, and keeping your fans, I'm at a point now where I do a pilot and just hope for the best. If it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out.
Laura Prepon
#31. My father served 26 years in the Air Force as a pilot and a pioneer in our missile programs. I learned early about the sacrifices a family makes when a member is repeatedly deployed, and also the fulfillment that comes from serving our country. My brother, my son and I all became Marines.
