As I have tried to show, science, in producing the airplane and the wireless, has created a new international political environment to which governments must adjust their foreign policies. – John Boyd Orr
NPR fired me for telling the truth. The truth is that I worry when I am getting on an airplane and see people dressed in garb that identifies them first and foremost as Muslims. This is not a bigoted statement. It is a statement of my feelings, my fears after the terrorist attacks of 9/11 by radical Muslims. – Juan Williams
Something I’ll always remember – when I was a kid, I shook hands with Orville Wright. Forty years later, I shook hands with Neil Armstrong. The guy that invented the airplane and the guy that walked on the moon. In a lifetime, that’s kinda wild when you think about it. – Jonathan Winters
I think a loaded weapon aboard an airplane, whether it’s in the cargo section or in your overhead baggage, is a security issue. – Janice Hahn

If we did not have such a thing as an airplane today, we would probably create something the size of N.A.S.A. to make one. – Ross Perot
I lost two brothers in an airplane crash, both of them leaving a wife and kids. When I get to Heaven, that’s probably the first question I’d like to ask: ‘Why was it necessary?’ – S. Truett Cathy
As one gets older, it happens that in the morning one fails to remember the airplane trip to be taken in a few hours or the lecture scheduled for the afternoon. – Rudolf Arnheim
My mom worked for Lockheed Corp. in Burbank as an inspector of airplane parts. To help make ends meet, Dee, a friend of my mom’s from Lockheed, moved in. She was a lovely person and helped with our care for many years. – Rene Russo

I look up so much to those movies, ‘Airplane!’ and ‘Naked Gun.’ I think that stuff is so funny. I grew up just loving all that stuff and sort of idolizing Leslie Nielsen. – Rob Huebel
My background is in physics, so I was the mission specialist, who is sort of like the flight engineer on an airplane. – Sally Ride
To invent an airplane is nothing. To build one is something. But to fly is everything. – Otto Lilienthal
Sadly, I am not able to take part in the fieldwork myself so much anymore, as both of my legs were amputated following an airplane crash twelve years ago. – Richard Leakey
I love Evian face spray because it’s a really easy way to just freshen up your face, especially if you’re traveling on an airplane – I get really dry on airplanes. – Olivia Culpo
No operational commander should have to assign a soldier a task that could be done as well by a computer, a remote sensor, or an unmanned airplane. – Richard Perle
Dad went to Canada to learn how to fly with the Royal Canadian Air Force. He took me on my first airplane ride, where I could have a hand on the stick. – Wally Schirra
I wanted it not to be true. I wanted it not to be her plane. I wanted it – I wanted, if it was her plane, to have somehow survived because she was in the back of the airplane. But we know that doesn’t happen, not with those sorts of things. – Ted Olson
Texas is just so rich with characters. Women who live alone in a little house on a thousand acres with nothing but cattle and a pickup truck. And an airplane. – Sissy Spacek
If you take one rivet out of an airplane, it will be all right, it’ll keep flying. You take another rivet out of the airplane and it still flies. So what the heck, let’s take more rivets out of the airplane, and sooner or later, the airplane drops from the sky. – Ted Danson
