discussion Favourite quotes from Aviation movies

[Guest]

Hear is something different .What is your favourite quote from an aviation film?

My fav two are from Doctor Strangelove. The first when the russian ambassador is spotted taking pictures of the map in the pentagon war room and a scuffle breaks out between the russian and an american general . The president shouts at them "Gentleman , you can't fight in here ,this is the war room."

The other is onboard the B52 flown by slim pickens . Thw radio receiver is damaged and the operator says " The CRM self destruct mechanism has been hit and blown it's self up!"

In Blazing Saddles when the Black sherrif points his gun at his own head and says

"Don't move or the N***er gets it!"

..or when the "aircraft designer" in Flight of the Pheonix explains that it is model `planes he designs. Not humorous but a major moment.

From The Battle of Britain. Sir David Kelly responding to the german ultimatum.

"We're not easily frightened. Also, we know how hard it is for an army to cross the channel. Last little corporal who tried came a cropper.

So don't threaten or dictate to us until you're marching up Whitehall! And even then we won't listen."

Every single line in the Battle of Britain is a classic.

British Squadron leader to his Polish squadron during a huge dogfight, all the polish pilots were wooping it up on the radio.

" Silence!!!....Shut Up!!!!....In POLISH!"
