Back when the 55th Weather ReconRon was pushing WB-50's around there were a couple: "Weather Reconnaissance is hours and hours of boredom punctuated with moments of stark terror." "Nothing is as useless as the runway behind you or the altitude over your head." "Never tell your co-pilot 'Cheer Up!' on takeoff roll" (On landing roll) "Cheated death again!" "When you hear the hiss, you're clear to P***." pcook@mcc [Col Pete Cook, MCC, Austin, TX]
