If you are short of everything but enemies, you are in a combat zone.

Funny. Thanks.

Several years ago I was talking to a former army pilot about a military jet crash that was all over the news. I meant to ask "What does the military do to the pilot when he crashes his plane?" but the question came out "What happens when you crash your plane?"

Without missing a beat, the old pilot said "The dirt comes inside the cockpit with you"

Basic Flying Rules: "Try to stay in the middle of the air. Do not go near the edges of it. The edges of the air can be recognized by the appearance of ground, buildings, sea, trees and interstellar space. It is much more difficult to fly there."

Every time I read these, I laugh but I also have the greatest respect for people in the military. The least of them is probably way more slick than most of us.

The three things that don't do pilots any good:

runway behind you...
altitude above you...
and fuel you left back in the tanker.

My favorite is the part of the instructions on the MRE water-based heater packet where it says on the picture of the rock (depicting how to rest the packet on an incline), "Rock or Something".
