Great Aviation Lies

I was cleaning out my office last weekend and came across this old poster.  I made me laugh enough I had to put it back up in my office.   Here it is

And if you can’t read what it says here are the greatest aviation lies:

1. I’m from the FAA and I’m here to help you.
2. Me? I’ve never busted minimums.
3. We will be on time, maybe even early.
4. Pardon me, ma’am, I seem to have lost my jet keys.
5. I have no interest in flying for the airlines.
6. I fixed it right the first time, it must have failed for other reasons.
7. All that turbulence spoiled my landing.
8. I’m a member of the mile high club.
9. I only need glasses for reading.
10. I broke our right at minimums.
11. The weather is gonna be alright; it’s clearing to VFR.
