      From the research paper I'm working on concerning weather related aviation accidents:

      From Air Florida Flight 90:

      “God, look at that thing! That don't seem right, does it? That's not right.”

      Few seconds later:
      "Stalling, we're falling."
      "Larry, we're going down Larry."
      "I know it."

              "It was a hoary axiom of flying that young neophytes were possessed of three things in lieu of actual air experience – large ornamental wings, a large and complicated wrist watch, and a penis to match the assembly."

                  "Can any forum moderators change the title of this thread, in the main forum it states 'Aviation retated quotes from the past to preset'"
                  Can it be changed to 'related' and 'present'

                  But when you click on thread the title is ok.

                  Cheers
