Remember, you’re always a student in an airplane…. And every takeoff is a flight test.

Johnny and his wife went to the State Fair every year. Every year Johnny would say, "I'd like to ride in the airplane." And every year his wife would say, "I know, Johnny, but the airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars." One year Johnny and his wife went back to the fair and Johnny said, "I'm 71 years old. If I don't ride that airplane this year I may never get another chance." "That airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars.", replied his wife. The pilot overheard them and said, "Folks, I'll make you a deal. I'll take you both up for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say one word, I won't charge you. But if you say one word it's ten dollars." Johnny and his wife agree and climbed in the plane. The pilot does all kinds of twists and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word is heard. He does all his tricks over again, but still not a word. They land and the pilot turns to Johnny, "By golly, I did everything I could think of to get you to yell out, but you didn't." Johnny replied, "Well, I was gonna say something when my wife fell out, but ten dollars is ten dollars."

Attempting to race the weather always increases its speed.

Estimate what you think its’ going to cost to own a plane. Be brutally honest, down to the penny – and then DOUBLE it.
