Man is flying too fast for a world that is round. Soon he will catch up with himself in a great rear end collision.
I hate flying. Know why? Because no one really understands how planes actually work.
I may be developing aerophobia as I get older, or maybe I’m just becoming middle aged, because I find flying an increasingly unpleasant way of travelling. I would much rather drive than fly.
Life science research can be done on multiple platforms. Since we have a very small number of people flying into space, the more people you have, the better.
I said in a speech out in Peoria that with Jerry in as vice president, the pressures on Nixon to resign would be unbearable. I know that Republicans see 50 House seats flying out the window in 1974.
I think superheroes are about flying. They’re not about moping.
I guess when we’re young, we all have that fascination with flying.
Everything has changed. The flying changed. The airports have changed.
We said, as we were developing ‘Iron Man 1,’ and working on these films, that our characters need to be as interesting out of their costumes as they are inside their costumes, fighting and flying around.
I’ve been watching things like ‘Master of the Flying Guillotine’ since I was 5.
But Hopes are Shy Birds flying at a great distance seldom reached by the best of Guns.
Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible.
I quit flying years ago. I don’t want to die with tourists.
I’m flying by the seat of my pants, never creating with a thought to what’s up ahead!
I love basketball! When I’m flying, and I have on sweats, a hat, and sneakers, people always assume that I’m a high school kid going to an away game. And I always say no, I’m a fan of the game.
Well my dad was a pretty good player at one stage and my two older brothers played golf as well. So there were always golf clubs flying around the house.
Notts County were League Two and they had they great plans. Things were happening and I was like ‘wow these guys are serious.’ It was a mad season because we were flying private jets to game. It was all a farce and I had signed a five-year contract.
When I was on the ice, I felt like a free man. With flying, it’s the same thing. When I’m flying by myself on an afternoon, I feel free.
Sigmund Freud was the apostle of disbelief. He was the one who made psychoanalysis a part of our culture, and in so doing he kicked out a flying buttress that had been essential for holding up our cathedral of faith.
To me, flying free is doing what I want to do, even if it’s different from what everybody expects me to do. I’m flying free when I win the battle between me and the people who thought I should go down this road and I find my own road.
Flying is such a joy. You just want to hoot.
I was flying to the Maldives in 2000 when the plane went through turbulence – after that, I didn’t fly for four years. Then a job came up in India, so I did a simulator flight and learnt about what goes on in the cockpit. I’m fine now.
They decided as part of my 75th birthday celebrations that I would be entitled to fly first class. I’ll be honest, I’m not good at flying anymore. To my credit, I can stretch out on two coach seats.
No flying machine will ever fly from New York to Paris.
On November 13, 2005, as I was flying into Moscow from a weekend away, I was stopped at Sheremetyevo airport, detained for 15 hours, deported, and declared a threat to national security.
I was a pilot and flying hang gliders, paragliders, aerobatics airplanes, and then I discovered skydiving. Free fall. Free. With nothing around you, just a parachute on your back. And you go down. But you don’t feel like you’re going down. Total freedom.
I feel very confident that Americans flying in the air are safe and that only under the most dire of circumstances would our pilots ever even request permission to do that.
Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn’t lend itself to histrionics. You ‘take in’ a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.
Well, the odds must be against anybody being able to fly around the world in a balloon on the first attempt. All of us who are attempting to go around the world in balloons are effectively flying in experimental craft because these craft cannot be tested.
I did a lot of trapeze stuff when I did ‘Pippin’ and continued to do it afterward. Flying is so fun, and I was used to the harness idea, but these harnesses are like intense, full bodysuit things.
I don’t find slashing and blood flying everywhere to be scary. I just find it repulsive.
Trends suck you in, anywhere in the world, patterns you don’t even see. It’s so easy. Look at Wall Street – look at any sports team in the world – there are trends. Look at exercising. Nothing but patterns and trends, and that’s what I started to see. Like a flock of birds all flying in one direction.
I remember laughing an inordinate amount of time. Setting up scenes that involve ooze coming out basements, or pigs’ heads flying through windows is really fun. How could you not laugh?
I’ve known the anxiety of being completely lost, flying at night. It can be extreme. You’re travelling at close to five hundred miles an hour, and every minute that goes by takes you further into being lost unless you get help from ground radar somewhere or somehow figure out the error.
By 1931, after a few years’ experience of flying scheduled airlines, those planes were operating at roughly 600 times the safety of the space shuttle. I look at safety not in terms of fatalities per passenger-mile, but when you get in and close the door, what is the risk of dying on this flight?
As a physician and as a pilot, I think it lets me be a pretty good translator having one foot in the medical world and one foot in the flying world. Sometimes when the medical guys come in and speak medical stuff to the pilots, the pilots really don’t know what they’re saying.
Travelling is hard. I’m no traveller. I hate flying, and I hate hotels.
I loved flying as much as I thought I would and continue to fly aircraft.
A lot of these things will fly in later forms on the space station themselves, or a later form of that research will, once they kind of find out some of the basics from flying it on shuttle.
I never thought I was academically gifted at school. But when I started flying, I found you didn’t need an academic mind – you just needed determination and dedication.
‘Twilight’ has ruined me. When this is all over, flying internationally is going to be very hard for me. It is just not worth it to buy a first-class ticket, because of the cost.
You know, I’m an eagle, flying around in the mountains.
When I went on to college, I was allowed to take flying, as my mother had dearly loved flying and her father wouldn’t allow her to, so they encouraged me then to go on into my aviation career.
I love flying; I love aircraft, and you could say I’ve had a love affair with flight since I was a child. I travel a huge amount. I use airports, and as a pilot, I’ve flown in and out of airports thousands of times, so really, I have a fairly broad perspective.
When I was at Hinckley I was on £200 a week. I was flying around getting myself into trouble here and there. It was a learning curve, relying on money that wasn’t coming and having to survive.
I hate flying. I sit back and squirm.
I am an enthusiast, but not a crank in the sense that I have some pet theories as to the proper construction of a flying machine. I wish to avail myself of all that is already known and then, if possible, add my mite to help on the future worker who will attain final success.
I hadn’t realized quite how extraordinary Charles Lindbergh’s achievement was in flying the Atlantic alone. He had never flown over open water before, but he flew straight to Dingle Bay in Ireland and then on to Paris, exactly as planned.
Whether or not I tour forever, I’m not sure. I would love to spend more time living in harmony with nature rather than flying all over the world and contributing to global warming, you know what I mean?
I did a little bit of flying in high school, but I’ve just always been inspired and excited about airplanes.
