I guess the comedian I heard quote this was quoting Pappy Boyington. I am wondering if Pappy was referring to his experience as a fighter pilot or as a passenger on a commercial flight. He was one helluva fighter pilot flying one helluva airplane leading one helluva squadron.
Sorry, got off thread but not many people remember Pappy Boyington. (The real thing, not the TV version). His bio on Wikipedia is worth a read.
