Aircraft Quotations | Page 4

I fueled the aircraft and gave it away. I gave it away because of (Commissioner) Bill Patterson. He said he would revoke our access permit.

If you look at the growth in Chinese travel, the predictions of 2,600 aircraft over 20 years is reasonable. It's not just growth, it's replacement.

In the vast majority of cases, personal use of corporate aircraft is an invalid use of shareholders' money. If we're going to pay them more, I'd rather see it related to performance.

In the year 2054, the entire defense budget will purchase just one aircraft. This aircraft will have to be shared by the Air Force and Navy 3-1/2 days each per week except for leap year, when it will be made available to the Marines for the extra day.

Interest in extending the service life of the world's P-3 and CP-140 fleet has increased as a result of the P-3 Structural Life Assessment Program (SLAP). With many of the P-3 aircraft in operation now reaching their service life limits sooner than expected, and with no affordable replacement maritime patrol aircraft available, a service life extension is the only way for nations to maintain this vital operational capability.

In principal, having carrier capability is desirable and ditto for nuclear propulsion. An aircraft carrier is all about presence and adds to the navy's capability.

I hope one day that China's pilots will fly the skies in jumbo aircraft manufactured by their own country.

In that capacity he was in charge of all 36 pilots and all 36 or so aircraft in Alaska.

In my submissions, it has not been established by coherent, reliable or compelling evidence that (Fahima) was party to any plot to destroy a civil aircraft and murder its occupants,

In accordance with our FAA approved manuals and procedures, the aircraft was subsequently dispatched. At no time was the safety of our passengers placed at risk.

If the maintenance is robust and properly followed, aircraft have a virtually infinite life.

Clearly we need to do everything we can to reduce the impact of aviation on people who live near airports and our project is looking at ways of keeping the aircraft higher for longer which will keep the noise further away and also at lower thrust settings as they're coming in to land.

Clients with fractional aircraft have to be a very wealthy individual because the charter costs are double or triple a smaller plane.

But I have seen the science I worshipped and the aircraft I loved destroying the civilization I expected them to serve.

I don't know if it would have killed the A3XX, but it would have been a major blow. With the aircraft in its infancy, every order is important. For Boeing, losing the order is too bad, but it was not a must-win order.

Changes to the aircraft resulting from flight test and certification requirements in the first quarter caused the retrofit activity to be more extensive than originally anticipated.

By declaring pre-emptive bushfire emergencies, all local areas will be in the highest state of readiness and will be able to deploy firefighters, tankers and aircraft immediately.

Honeywell Aerospace continues to expand product offerings for the helicopter industry. Our ability to offer customers avionics systems, turbine engines, and aircraft air and power systems, gives us a wide industry capability as a supplier for both helicopter manufacturers and operators.

However, the jump in new orders was too narrowly concentrated in civilian aircraft and defense orders to offer much more than modest encouragement. Although the worst may be over for the manufacturing sector, any recovery is likely to be sluggish.

For the first time, we will be able to offer direct non-stop services between India and the USA and these aircraft will have a unique configuration giving passengers extra space and comfort on their long flights,

Fort Dix and McGuire have evolved with more personnel and more aircraft than I expected, ... If you would have told me four months ago that we would have 30-plus more aircraft, newer jet tankers and 1,000 to 2,000 more positions, I would have responded that it was too optimistic, but it does appear that is what's in store for McGuire and Dix under the new joint-base plan.

The Bf 109 is, without doubt, the most satisfying and challenging aircraft that I have ever flown.

You could estimate 50 per cent of the aircraft had fallen apart in the sky.

The UK has allowed these aircraft to land, refuel and take off from their territory.

This is a historic event. The aircraft was evaluated against over 500 technical criteria in order to get this certification.

Air travel is growing in leaps and bounds, and airlines and nations are investing in new aircraft to accommodate that growth. Regardless of Boeing versus Airbus issues, this is good news for everyone who works in or supports the commercial aircraft industry.

Airline ownership restrictions became national rights. Now the flags on our aircraft are so heavy they are sinking the industry.

Aircraft leasing is not a business that fits with our strategy.

Aircraft is responsible for a lot of that decline. My suspicion is that the manufacturing sector will ease up, but the manufacturing recovery is still in place.

Aircraft flying overhead that will be one indication that things will change.

Aircraft flight in the 21st century will always be in a westerly direction, preferably supersonic, crossing time zones to provide the additional hours needed to fix the broken electronics.

Aircraft do have landing gear problems. What is extremely rare is when you have television cameras aimed at the plane ... there were a lot of people in our office that were really stunned about how perfect that landing looked.

Airbus has made a substantial commitment within the United States, where we procure more than 46 percent of our aircraft parts and systems, and where we already have four other centers of excellence. This engineering center is further representation of that commitment.

The combination of advanced technology and reduced crew requirements make the C-130J ideally suited to fill the airlift requirements of many countries in this region. From the rapid deployment of relief supplies to devastated areas, to the evacuation of those needing medical aid, the C-130J has no equal. The tremendous range, power and payload capability of the C-130J make it nearly twice as effective as older C-130s and we have seen ample evidence of that capability in combat. But the ability of the C-130J to deliver large amounts of supplies and personnel to regions where normal airfield operations have been disrupted is one of its biggest advantages. With its short austere landing strip capability, C-130Js are often the first aircraft to start the relief process.

The flight commander on board the aircraft reported hitting an object on the takeoff run, ... aborted takeoff.

The headline is all about Boeing, which reported 200 new aircraft orders in May, up from 14 in April. Unusually, it seems that nearly all these orders have hit the official data immediately. Apart from this, however, these are soft data. Ex-transportation orders fell 0.2% and there was a downward revision to April, now put at -0.7%.

The higher the oil price, the greater the demand for more fuel-efficient aircraft. We should encourage airlines to buy new aircraft to replace those which are 15 or 20 years old.

Although a strike will negatively affect financial results, Boeing has the financial resources to withstand a strike of at least two to three months, and much of the negative financial effect will be reversed once aircraft deliveries resume.

The GMA 347 audio panel meets the needs of aircraft owners who require industry leading communication integration. The versatility of the audio switching functions helps reduce cockpit workload and makes the flight more enjoyable for the pilot and crew.

The code share agreement will allow the airlines to reduce cost by removing some surplus capacity and utilizing aircraft more efficiently, while increasing the number of flights available to ... customers.

The commercial-rated pilot in the right seat was flying the aircraft at the time of the accident. He is the pilot referred to in the probable cause report.

An aircraft was sent out early this morning and saw a light diesel sheen which is heading northeast away from the island.

An aircraft part. A small structural part, as opposed to a mechanical part.

An aircraft cabin is a place that seems to be nowhere, but I find it steeped in the place left behind and the place ahead.

The market took the report in context -- which is that it is often distorted by aircraft orders. It didn't really ignite the bond bulls that the headline number was down so much.

The January revision is mostly due to the plunge in aircraft orders reported in the durable-goods numbers. In February, the index was pulled down by lower consumer confidence, higher jobless claims, shorter delivery times and lower building permits.

The long range of these new missiles will reduce the risk to both aircraft and crew by decreasing their exposure in a high threat environment.

If you're in a confined aircraft; when one person sneezes, it goes all the way through the aircraft.

We are pleased we haven't got one on order. It's too big an aircraft.

I know something about aircraft carriers. And I can't wait to tell this country that landing on an aircraft carrier doesn't make up for the lack of an economic plan or a security plan for the United States of America.
