fly? Just how in the world do you think it got to be this old? ~ Jim

a fence and watch the birds; but if you really wish to learn, you must
mount a machine and become acquainted with its tricks by actual trial.

usually far more dangerous than deliberately accepted risks. ~ Wilbur
Wright, September 1900.
18. I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty

in the first place. ~ Edgar Schmued

21. The important thing in aeroplanes is that they shall be speedy. ~
Baron Manfred Von Richthofen
22.. The aeroplane will never fly. ~ Lord haldane, Minister of War,
Britain, 1907
lose all consciousness in this strong unmortal space crowded with
beauty, pierced with danger. ~ Charles A. Lindbergh
24. It is hard enough for anyone to map out a course of action and
but it is doubly hard for an aviator to stay on the ground waiting for
just the right moment to go into the air. ~ Glenn Curtiss, 1909.
25. To put your life in danger from time to time... breeds a saneness
in dealing with day-to-day trivialities. ~ Nevil Shute
the present for the future. ~ Amelia Earhart
27. Real planes use only a single stick to fly. This is why bulldozers

forgive ~ Richard Collins

for it to be neglected as a sport ~ Orville Wright

kill you. ~ Max Stanley, Northrop test pilot
31. The bulk of mankind is as well equipped for flying as thinking. ~
