we all have a perfect record when flyong, we have never left on up there yet

my buddy and his girlfriend were flying across Long Island to Martha's Vineyard in his Starduster 2, she asked, Hey Gene, what do I do if something happens to you? He said on the intercom, "don't worry, it will come down all by itself".

Take- off is optional and purely at the pilot's discretion, landing however, is mandatory and if the pilot does not, or is not able to, take an active role in it then things get dicey

When I was an instructor I was privileged to give flight reviews. A favorite of mine when I got into an unfamiliar aircraft was of course to familiarize myself with the avionics. Many a time I said"Say, is that one of those new GPS's that'll take you anywhere you ask? Really??? Turn it off and take out your chart". Mitch

A joke told to me when I was a wide-eyed Ensign in flight school goes something like this:

A flight student was having a particularly bad day and just couldn’t seem to do anything right on his training hop. His instructor came on the intercom and asked “What’s wrong with you today?.” Continuing his bad day, the student selected his radio transmitter instead of the intercom and replied “I don’t know sir. I’m just all “f-ed up today.” A air traffic controller monitoring the frequency responded “Aircraft that just fouled the airways, identify yourself.” After a brief pause, the flight instructor came on the radio and answered “The student said he was f-ed up, not stupid!”

While in flight school at a large 141 program I heard this.

Pilot (thick foreign accent): "(BLANK) tower cessna 12345 inbound to (AIRPORT)"

Tower: "Cessna 12345 say intentions" (ie: landing, touch and go, ILS approach, etc..)

Pilot: "I wish to become a flight instructor."
