Barack Obama

Shania Twain

Someone, Nothing, Why

Chuck Yeager

Learn, Fighter, Anybody

My background is in physics, so I was the mission specialist, who is sort of like the flight engineer on an airplane.
Sally Ride

Physics, Engineer, Mission

I try to get in quiet time and book time, but really, the only time I ever get that is when I'm on an airplane - I have a fear of flying, but I actually love flying because it's the only time I can sleep, and it's the only time I get to read.
Kesha

Love, Time, Fear

You know, I remember Career Day in high school. I remember plumbers and lawyers... I don't remember a booth where you could sign up to learn how to shoot chickens out of a cannon at the windshield of an airplane, 'cause there would have been a line at my school to do that!
Jeff Foxworthy

School, Career, Remember

Marriage, Before, Once

Michael Phelps

Home, Greatest, Feelings

I have an airplane hangar with 17 cars in it. That's no joke. I have a 'half pipe' in there, too - you know, like a big ramp, where I skateboard. It's awesome. It's the ultimate fantasy.
Paul Walker

Big, Awesome, Joke

Bruce Springsteen

Person, Far, Until

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

Another, Keep, Sky

Today, Create, Size

Vanessa Hudgens

Family, Time, Tough

Time, War, Business
