My grandfather was an engineer who invented the automatic pilot for airplanes.

The hard, inescapable reality is that anyone who flies may die in an airplane.

Most of the men sitting in first class on an airplane have really boring jobs.

I like my airplane. It's as much a part of me as anything but my wife and kids.

I don't think I'd know if I were sitting next to Charles Schulz on an airplane.

Computers, like automobiles and airplanes, do only what people tell them to do.

That movie, 'Airplane!,' what a landmark film it was. It's a great, great movie.

For me, people are like the black boxes found in the debris of airplane crashes.

There are no distant places any longer: the world is small and the world is one.

There are aphorisms that, like airplanes, stay up only while they are in motion.

I've become one of those annoying people who brings their own food on to planes.

I've discovered writers by reading books left in airplane seats and weird hotels.

Anyone who's not interested in model airplanes must have a screw loose somewhere.

It was the first airplane . . . that could make money just by hauling passengers.

As a pilot, I can tell you drones may be a lot of things; airplanes they are not.

I am proud that everybody is knowing me on the streets and airplanes and airports.

Flying is hours and hours of boredom sprinkled with a few seconds of sheer terror.

I always liked airplanes, and I decided I was going to go to school to study them.

Civilization, like an airplane in flight, survives only as it keeps going forward.

A pilot who says he has never been frightened in an airplane is, I'm afraid, lying.

I used to fly airplanes myself, so being above the ground doesn't worry me too much.

A speech is like an airplane engine. It may sound like hell but you've got to go on.

I've owned about 18 airplanes over the years, and I've never bought one of them new.

Airplanes are a good place to concentrate because you get no emails, no phone calls.

When you live and work in different time zones, you spend a lot of time on airplanes.

My movies were the kind they show in prisons and airplanes, because nobody can leave.

Really, anyone can learn how to fly. If you can drive a bus, you can fly an airplane.

I love 'Airplane,' and I love 'Naked Gun' and all those films, where you're parodying.

Players are spoiled by charter airplanes, the finest hotels, a big per diem every day.

To invent an airplane is nothing. To build one is something. But to fly is everything.

That's when I feel most alive, he told me once on an airplane, when I'm helping people.

Every time I get on an airplane I figure it's gonna get blown up. You live on the edge.

Aviation is proof that given, the will, we have the capacity to achieve the impossible.

My airplanes are necessary machines, as necessary to this business as our meat slicers.

I'd like to jump out of an airplane, but I'm very scared of that. I will have to do it.

You might be a redneck if the antenna on your truck is a danger to low flying airplanes.

Flying prevails whenever a man and his airplane are put to a test of maximum performance.

The Moon is essentially gray - no color - looks like plaster of paris - soft of gray sand.

Unfortunately, I kind of split between Virginia and living in an airplane. I travel a lot.

It was absolutely perfect. You can handle this large aircraft as you can handle a bicycle.

These airplanes we have today are no more than a perfection of a child's toy made of paper.

If black boxes survive air crashes - why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?

Maybe it's sex appeal, but there's something about an airplane that drives investors crazy.

I don't think I'm a celebrity. I'm just a guy from east Texas who loves cars and airplanes.

What I love doing is basically two things: I love flying airplanes and I love communication.

I am the East. I have philosophies, I have religions, who would exchange them for airplanes?

If you can fly an airplane competently, you can fly it safely even if something does happen.

When the weight of the paper equals the weight of the airplane, only then you can go flying.

I never get sick on airplanes, which is incredible. You're basically in a flying petri dish.

I have to say that flying on Air Force One sort of spoils you for coach on a regular airline.
