A military cargo plane

A military cargo plane, flying over a populated area, suddenly loses power and starts to nose down. The pilot tries to pull up, but with all their cargo, the plane is too heavy. So he yells to the soldiers in back to throw things out to make the plane lighter. They throw out a pistol. “Throw out more!” shouts the pilot. So they throw out a rifle. “More!” he cries again. They heave out a missile, and the pilot regains control.

He pulls out of the dive and lands safely at an airport. They get into a jeep and drive off. Pretty soon they meet a boy on the side of the road who’s crying. They ask him why he’s crying and he says “A pistol hit me on the head!”

They drive more and meet another boy who’s crying even harder. Again they ask why and the boy says, “A rifle hit me on the head!”

They apologize and keep driving. They meet a boy on the sidewalk who’s laughing hysterically. They ask him, “Kid, what’s so funny? “The boy replies, “I sneezed and a house blew up!”

Letter to a student pilot

My advise to you is to never give up on what you truly believe in. There are ups and downs but what really makes your effort count is achieving a desired end result.

Flying training may or may not turn out to be what you’ thought it to be, but if you really have the passion burning inside of you then nothing will ever quench that fire.

There are times you meet instructors that will make you hate flying or make you believe that you can’’t fly, do not be dismayed as there is nothing like a bad student, there are only a bad teachers. We all learn things differently, your
learning capability might be either shorter or longer but what really matters is seeing you handling the machine(aeroplane) by yourself, taking off and landing, not putting yourself in a dangerous situation, and knowing how to handle a bad situation.

Finances might also be a hinderence for you but don’t worry, it would only take more time for you to finish your training but you will definitely get your wings and license and also feel good about yourself, your effort and determination.

Do not compare yourself with others because there is no competition in flying. Enjoy your training because it was meant to be enjoyed and stop racing with others. Flying training is not a Formula 1 car racing game.

Most of all, do no give up and remember to keep the fire burning and may you continue to soar higher and higher.
