Flight Quotations | Page 5

I've asked Rick Nichols at Nike to see what I can do to bridge the gap, to maybe put a 5-wood or 7-wood in the bag. But I have a problem with having to be able to flight the golf ball with those clubs.

I've always hankered after going into space and walking on the moon and Mars. I did want to be an astronaut, and had there been a manned space flight programme in the U.K., I would have been knocking on the door.

This flight was an engineer's dream. We are collecting so much data. We are looking at several different types of sensors. We are doing things we never imagined we would be able to do.

This depiction of flight attendants is an outrage, ... Flight attendants continue to be the first line of defense on an aircraft and put their lives on the line day after day for the safety of passengers.

This could be how the first flight began?insects just jumped off branches and started gliding.

The weather was still a factor as the wind was blowing and growing stronger as the game wore on. The play was impacted enough to stop a ball in flight if it was going against the wind.

This individual had been engaged in flight training in the United States, and the FBI believed he was possibly a radical fundamentalist.

This investigation is in its preliminary stages and journalists and others who want information should really be asking the CIA, and should be asking civilian flight authorities what they know.

A flight to quality remains the front mission of the Street's investment banking community.

You're flying at an altitude that you wouldn't be able to use a parachute. The safest thing to do -- if there's a problem -- is to come back and land, just like a regular flight would.

This is great, and the whole flight has been fantastic. We're looking forward to working with you again.

This is a sad day for NASA. ... But also one of renewed hope for the future of NASA's manned space flight program. The end of the Shuttle Program means that we will begin a new program that will be bigger better and more expensive than anything we have undertaken before. I'm proud of the people that have kept the shuttle going, but the Shuttle Program is done. Its time for the shuttle, like an old dog, to lie on the porch and let the younger dogs chase the rabbits.

This is not just a pilot course. We will be teaching air traffic management, safety science and physiology. Very few of the students will undertake flight training.

This is not flight hardware. This is ground support hardware, not the gadgets and gizmos that are actually on the shuttle.

In many ways, the flight of refugees from Kosovo is increasingly a flight from hunger.

I left the circuit in Bahrain immediately after all the interviews, changed, grabbed the bags and was off to the airport and flew to Dubai. I spent the night there, got up early in the morning for a delayed flight - I really could have slept a lot more! - and went directly to Malaysia.

I'm sure they're frustrated. I wouldn't be too happy to have an eight-hour flight over here and then either have it canceled or delayed another eight hours. It's part of that hurdle you have to get over.

I'm not a flight risk. I would much rather use the time to prepare an appeal,

In an emergency, the flight controllers will do everything they can to accommodate the pilot.

I'm an overgrown fan so it's always fun to hang out with my fellow fans and chew the fat. It's even better when there are a lot of top flight creators thrown into the mix.

I'm not thin, but I'm strong - plus my balance is such that I can navigate a flight of stairs with a basket of laundry and a stack of Pottery Barn catalogs, vaulting over cat-and-dog hurdles, never once spilling my coffee.

I'm willing to take the first flight back.

I had no premonition. As soon as I hit it, I kind of had a feeling it was going in the hole though. The flight of the ball and the way it bounced when it hit the green. I didn't see it go into the hole as the pin was in the left middle. I wasn't really overly excited. I was surprised.

I like long-duration space flight and hope my boss will let me do it again, ... I think the age of the true professional astronaut and cosmonaut has come.

In the earnings pre-reporting season, the companies that alarmed us so much were tech and telecom, ... We still have earnings jitters and nervousness about revenue growth. I think people feel there is more value in the Dow, which has been hanging in there, so that's where the flight to quality comes in.

In the evidence it came out that one of the flight attendants stated that Ms. Carrington reminded her of a terrorist, and in our views she was the victim of profiling stereotypes and discrimination.

In the space world, to be able to fly the next new mission, you have to have flight heritage from the previous mission. But if you don't fly the previous missionit's kind of a chicken and egg thing.

In this world, it should be easy for me to tell my travel agent Web site to make sure to update my calendar with my trip and to page my mother if my flight is going to be more than an hour late.

If you already have departed the gate and you now get caught up in a two- to three-hour weather delay and you know you will go over your duty day, then you will have to turn around and go back, climb out of the cockpit, and the chances of getting a backup pilot will be very difficult. So in most cases, that flight will be canceled.

If you're not a bird watcher you won't be very excited, though gulls are graceful in flight and striking in appearance. If you're a bird watcher this makes you weak in the knees.

So although by itself the SRB is a well-proven piece of hardware, the new flight article will have many new and as yet unproven features that have yet to be human-rated.

I'm not confident of success because of what I'm trying to do ... We calculate that I will be able to complete the flight and have a success, but it will be very close.

I just wish that every flight got the kind of attention we used to get in the Mercury days,

At a time when Iraq continues to defy the U.N. sanctions regime ... France, a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, has allowed a flight to Iraq in blatant violation of U.N. sanctions resolutions.

Take time to enjoy the flight - read a good book, watch a film, catch up on emails and sleep.

Target a flight that is likely to be full or overbooked. Airlines overbook because people do not turn up. Sometimes their projections are wrong and they will upgrade one or two people, (this is called cabin roll).

Target launch date for Falcon I maiden flight is Halloween (October 31) from our island launch complex in the Kwajalein Atoll. For potential customers out there, I should mention that Kwajalein has some of the worlds best scuba diving and snorkeling! It is literally a tropical paradise.

Not the cry, but the flight of the wild duck leads the flock to fly and follow.

The biggest impact on our flight schedule right now is Hurricane Katrina.

The availability of electronic imagery would help resolve issues surrounding flight crew actions in the cockpit. For example, it would tell us which pilot was at the controls and what controls were being manipulated.

The bill does not delay implementation. TSA will continue working closely with GAO and Congress to meet the criteria outlined for the Secure Flight program.

The biggest reason we are not surprised at being No. 2 is the FAA flight caps have had a major impact on our ability to expand. It simply makes the case for an accelerated modernized O'Hare.

Any time you have pieces come off your craft in flight it's a really bad day.

I want to make this the longest flight by any type of aircraft.

It's no fun getting up Sunday morning and being one of the first groups off and trying to figure out what flight you can make to get home. It's nice to be here late and have the opportunity to win.

The new work will go beyond the component level and allow us to test whole systems in flight and on the ground.

It's probably one of the most significant milestones in our effort to memorialize the heroism of the passengers and crew of Flight 93.

It's probably way too late now to book a flight on the Concorde, but people can still get the high-end treatment with executive jet leasing programs, ... A few of these companies are offering deals for about $5,000 that include a flight across the country, a night at the luxury hotel and formal dinner. If you've got the financial wherewithal to spend that kind of money, there are any number of ways to do it.

It's really great that Ashley can step up and play at flight four comfortably. It's great to know she has that ability.

It's particularly devastating to the last 310 flight attendants laid off in 2001 after September 11, who were just called back to work Aug. 1. Now these people are being told they will be back on the street again. Northwest gave no thought to the fact that many of these folks left other jobs and careers to come back. Now they will have to look for work again.

The intent of the flight is to thank them. It seems a little weird that they're so thankful.

The Internet has given people a control over prices, options, information and deals. It's given the traveler leverage. People feel it's worth dedicating the time to hunting for better hotel rates or flight times. They want not just to save money but to control their travel. People are being ever-more self-reliant.

Their flight schedule is not going to change in Tampa. They are still showing 22 departures per day: three to Chicago, eight to Dallas/Ft. Worth, five to Miami, two to New York/La Guardia, two to San Juan, Puerto Rico, and two to St. Louis.

It's been tight all year long between us and First Flight. I figured it would come down like it did. Obviously, it was a tie and we won on the sixth-place finisher, but I'm very pleased. This is the way it is with First Flight every meet. We've actually lost that last three or four to them by one point each time, so it's very pleasing today.

It's important for the citizens of this country and the citizens of the world to know there were more American citizens on that flight than citizens from any other country,

It's very sad that there's going to be a hiatus in manned space flight from the U.S. The Shuttle was a fantastic, hugely complex vehicle. It was inevitable it would come to an end, but this is the opportunity for the commercial world to get involved. As the Shuttle era ends, another window of opportunity opens.

The varying modes of flight exhibited by our diurnal birds of prey have always been to me a subject of great interest, especially as by means of them I have found myself enabled to distinguish one species from another, to the farthest extent of my power of vision.

It went right through after the flight deck and the forward part of the cargo department and hit one of the French kickers we had ... He eventually lost a leg.

They are just great, from the fact that they charge no penalties for changing a flight to their frequent-flier program. I know I sound like I work for them, but I swear I don't. I am just a big fan.

They can't do that now because the next flight is full, too.

I guess that's the story of flight in the 20th century: from the beginning, the very first flights at Kitty Hawk to the various, very furthest and fastest flights that man has ever made,

In one sense, these exurbs are just suburbs that take a longer time to drive to. With these, white flight has nothing to do with it. It's all housing prices. The makeup of these communities is a reflection of who's migrating, and that's people who have enough money to be middle class.

I quit my job. I bought myself a real cheap, like, around-the-world flight ticket, and I went to 16 countries for six months just backpacking, living in cheap hostels, looking for stories with a camera and my ex-girlfriend.

I just don't take myself as seriously anymore. But as a result of that, I am taking myself more seriously. My ego has gone on holiday, and it can't get a flight back home.

If the last balloon flight had gone smoothly, this would not have happened. We have delayed all approvals. Authorities now have to rethink the whole area.

In the long run, we have decided we would like to remove this fairly large piece of foam, just eliminate the hazard that it might cause. We think we have a very strong case to be ready to take that ramp off by the third flight tank. Some folks believe we can accelerate that and potentially even remove it for the STS-121 tank.

If you spend much time on this stuff and aviation accidents, a common theme is that of not listening to the signals the hardware is sending - the test results, the flight results, the dissenting opinions of the people involved.

Investigators will closely examine the maintenance records to determine any information that helps us understand the flight load history of the aircraft, any repairs made to this area of the wing or any other historical information that helps us determine the sequence of events that lead to this tragic accident.

In top flight competition, the team that makes the fewest mistakes wins, ... We made two and conceded two goals. The result isn't a fair reflection of how we played.

In the three hours before the undocking, the cosmonauts are to check the ship's systems, don the spacesuits in the cramped quarters of the descent craft of the Soyuz TMA-6, take their places and wait for the decisive moment of the command to separate from the station and set off on the flight back to the ground,

If you're a major carrier, you have to look at the type of environment you create on the flight deck. It's not all that healthy to have crew members viewed as scabs or crossing a line.

Changes to the aircraft resulting from flight test and certification requirements in the first quarter caused the retrofit activity to be more extensive than originally anticipated.

Honestly I've already had two calls from the recruiting battalion - 'Hey we know you guys are doing the fly over and we've got some questions about getting guys into the flight program can you help us out'. I'm supposed to talk to one of the kids next week to try and get him to go Army aviation.

I didn't know much about the Mexican gray wolf before January 2011, when we contributed a flight in our Pilatus PC12 to the effort to re-establish the wolf in the forests of Arizona and New Mexico.

How can they charge $100 to change a flight that costs $49!?!

There were 117 psychoanalysts on the Pan Am flight to Vienna and I'd been treated by at least six of them. And married a seventh.

They will embark on a space mission no later than 2010, working as flight commanders or on-board engineers.

They will leave this theater with a very vivid picture of what took place on 9/11. Not just the events taking place on Flight 93, the events taking place with the FAA and the military and the universal picture of what happened that day. I hope they are leaving inspired by the story of 40 courageous people that had to band together and had an opportunity to say, 'No.' To stand up and fight for their lives.

It takes about three to four times more maintenance man-hours per flight hour to maintain than the newer Hornet. Retiring the extremely relevant but maintenance intensive Tomcat was a way to save the exhaustive efforts of our people and better spend their labors.

It was a classic day in which bonds rallied from flight to quality from stock weakness.

It was a love of perpetual flight.

Every flight begins with a fall.

We prove God by showing active faith, which puts to flight all adverse appearances

After every flight there is a third-party review of the flight tapes to make sure that there was a full compliance with all flight rules and regulations.

A resurgence of demand is unlikely, but we believe there will be a flight to quality. We will not sell a ride on a specific launch vehicle - Atlas or Proton. Instead we will sell a ticket to orbit and diversify the launch risk.

An endurance increase of this magnitude means soldiers can keep Hunter aloft much longer, allowing them to gather more intelligence and survey larger areas during a single flight. A flight time exceeding 21 hours, coupled with advanced avionics and sensors, makes the MQ-5B the most advanced unmanned aerial system in the Army's inventory today.

A good meal is very important to me. When I have a bad meal, especially out, it's like I'm sitting in an airport during a flight delay. It's a part of my life I can't get back.

The GMA 347 audio panel meets the needs of aircraft owners who require industry leading communication integration. The versatility of the audio switching functions helps reduce cockpit workload and makes the flight more enjoyable for the pilot and crew.

The gap fillers, that's a product of the fact that we can see more and do a better job of evaluating. That's probably something that's happened in flight before, but this is the first time we've known about it and could take remedial action.

All eyes are on Elon. A successful flight would be a critical milestone.

The guys were kidding me that I was upset with Mike because he didn't make his bed in the morning, or that he insisted on the aisle seat on the flight back to Montreal.

The flight attendants have benefits and challenges, but they do have choices of where they can live, or to some extent, where they fly and work.

The flight commander on board the aircraft reported hitting an object on the takeoff run, ... aborted takeoff.

The flight controllers, the people who manned the trenches in mission control, these were kids. They were in their 20s and 30s. And they were controlling a moon mission.

The flight definitely takes its toll on you physically. That's one reason why we international students don't go home that often. But at the end of the day, it's still worth it to travel thousands of miles to America for the educational opportunity and the experience.

The flight into Penn State (on Saturday) was brutal. When we're up in the air, that's when all my joints start to swell a little bit. So once we get to the hotel, it's a matter of putting my feet up and giving my knees a break.

The flight itself was interesting, fairly long, but went extremely well.

The flight may still be possible. But the jet streams are not ideal. It is a big concern.

The flight operations of all domestic airlines have remained normal throughout most the country.

The flight pattern is all over pine trees, versus schools, homes, churches and shopping centers,
