Mine told me that you're doin' fine so long as your landings equal your takeoffs.

Later, a smoking XO scoffed at someone who told him he should quit: "A helo pilot who worries about dying of lung cancer is an optimist!"

We had a traffic pilot up here named Paul Brendle who survived two helicopter crashes. Some years later, we heard he committed suicide.

Thats interesting, but my instructor did yours one better. He always said " Every Pilot that took off has always landed! but some of them haven't taken off again." Just a thought,but flying is very serious and very unforgiving.
