Man Has Risen So Far Above All

After Reading ... Accounts ... Of Minor Accidents Of Light, It Is Little Wonder That The Average Man Would Far Rather Watch Someone Else Fly And Read Of The Narrow Escapes From Death When Some Pilot Has Had A Forced Landing Or A Blowout, Than To Ride Himself. Even In The Postwar Days Of Now Obsolete Equipment, Nearly All Of The Serious Accidents Were Caused By Inexperienced Pilots Who Where Then Allowed To Fly Or Attempt To Fly-without License Or Restrictions About Anything They Could Coax Into The Air.

Sometimes, Flying Feels Too Godlike To Be Attained By Man. Sometimes, The World From Above Seems Too Beautiful, Too Wonderful, Too Distant For Human Eyes To See .

Life Is A Culmination Of The Past, An Awareness Of The Present, An Indication Of A Future Beyond Knowledge, The Quality That Gives A Touch Of Divinity To Matter.

The Individual Is At The Apex Of His Species' Past, At The Entrance To Its Future.

I Would Rather Live One Day In Maui Than One Month In New York.
