The thing is helicopters are different from airplanes An airplane by it’s nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or incompetent piloting, it will fly. – Harry Reasoner

It’s always tough for me to make a movie, and then sit on an airplane and watch somebody watch it on their phone. – Harvey Weinstein
Flying through a hurricane is the most fearsome shaking you will ever get. Everything has to be tied down in the airplane. And the IMAX camera has to be rock-steady through all this. We had to design special mounts on the left and right sides of the cabin and in the cockpit to hold the cameras. – Greg MacGillivray
Spaceflight, especially in the Mercury spacecraft, clearly wasn’t going to be much like flying an airplane. – Henry Spencer
On the first ‘Indiana Jones’ movie, I tore an ACL in one of my knees – can’t remember which knee.

Lots of bumps and injuries along the way. – Harrison Ford
Any design, whether it’s for a ship or an airplane, must be done in anticipation of potential failures. – Henry Petroski

If my favorite, most comfortable place is by our fireplace in cold weather, expedient places are on an airplane, in a waiting room or even waiting in line; frequently these days, while on the phone having been ‘put on hold.’ – Joyce Carol Oates
The term ‘serious actor’ is kind of an oxymoron, isn’t it? Like ‘Republican party’ or ‘airplane food.’ – Johnny Depp

At any time, somebody can blow themselves up and take Americans with them. They can blow up an airplane; they can crash an airplane.

I’ve jumped out of an airplane 34 times. I’ve dove 212 feet under water. I’ve done a lot of things that defied death. – Jesse Ventura
