Top Altimeter Quotes

Altimeter Quotes By Joseph Kittinger

An hour and thirty-one minutes after launch, my pressure altimeter halts at 103,300 feet. At ground control the radar altimeters also have stopped-on readings of 102,800 feet, the figure that we later agree upon as the more reliable. It is 7 o'clock in the morning, and I have reached float altitude ... Though my stabilization chute opens at 96,000 feet, I accelerate for 6,000 feet more before hitting a peak of 614 miles an hour, nine-tenths the speed of sound at my altitude. — Joseph Kittinger

Altimeter Quotes By Andy Dick

Altimeter Quotes By Rick Riordan

FLY A HELICOPTER? SURE, WHY NOT. Leo had done plenty of crazier things that week. The sun was going down as they flew north over the Richmond Bridge, and Leo couldn't believe the day had gone so quickly. Once again, nothing like ADHD and a good fight to the death to make time fly. Piloting the chopper, he went back and forth between confidence and panic. If he didn't think about it, he found himself automatically flipping the right switches, checking the altimeter, easing back on the stick, and flying straight. If he allowed himself to consider what he was doing, he started freaking out. He imagined his Aunt Rosa yelling at him in Spanish, telling him he was a delinquent lunatic who was going to crash and burn. Part of him suspected she was right. "Going okay?" Piper asked from the copilot's seat. She sounded more nervous than he was, so Leo put on a brave face. — Rick Riordan

Altimeter Quotes By Erhard Loretan

The altimeter had been damaged along the way, but the few bottles that we brought along to wash down the ordinary expedition rations were fine. True, a bottle gives only a vague indication of altitude, but can you drink an altimeter? — Erhard Loretan

Altimeter Quotes By Albert Einstein

The question that drives me hazy is whether it is I or others who is crazy. — Albert Einstein

Altimeter Quotes By Sheena Iyengar

You know, like, none of us would choose - no matter where we are in the world - would choose to you know become a member of Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four" world, but how much choice is really the question. — Sheena Iyengar

Altimeter Quotes By Arundhati Roy

There can be nothing more humiliating for a writer of fiction to have to do than restate a case that has already been made. — Arundhati Roy

Altimeter Quotes By Ernest K. Gann

A stood for altimeter. It told how high a man flew. B stood for boost. It told the power in the engines. C stood for compass. It told in which direction a man was proceeding. It was delightfully simple. — Ernest K. Gann

Altimeter Quotes By Jerry Eichenberger

Flying is an art of absorbing the information from more than one reference, primary and secondary, and then using this information to decide how to manipulate the controls to achieve a desired result. The altimeter is the secondary reference for determining if the nose attitude is correct. — Jerry Eichenberger

Altimeter Quotes By Sathya Sai Baba

Desire is like the shadow caused by the morning sun; it gets longer when you run to catch it ... — Sathya Sai Baba
