Science, freedom, beauty, adventure: what more could you ask of life? Aviation combined all the elements I loved. There was science in each curve of an airfoil, in each angle between strut and wire, in the gap of a spark plug or the color of the exhaust flame. There was freedom in the unlimited horizon, on the open fields where one landed. A pilot was surrounded by beauty of earth and sky. He brushed treetops with the birds, leapt valleys and rivers, explored the cloud canyons he had gazed at as a child. Adventure lay in each puff of wind. I began to feel that I lived on a higher plane than the skeptics of the ground; one that was richer because of its very association with the element of danger they dreaded, because it was freer of the earth to which they were bound. In flying, I tasted a wine of the gods of which they could know nothing. Who valued life more highly, the aviators who spent it on the art they loved, or these misers who doled it out like pennies through their antlike days? I decided that if I could fly for ten years before I was killed in a crash, it would be a worthwhile trade for an ordinary life time. — Charles A. Lindbergh, 'The Spirit of St. Louis.'

Would "Real pilots Jump Jabs" be preferred? The real men comment was only meant as light relief. on a serious note re a bumper sticker for http://www.recreationalflying.com I believe that we have a serious problem in that the web address while being perfectly descriptive is far too long to be accurately remembered by someone in a following car who gets a quick glimpse of a bumper sticker.

One way to get an idea of how a correct approach will appear to you in your aeroplane is to park the plane at the threashold and get a good mental image of how the far end of the runway looks. Then look down at your lap to re focus your eyes, close your eyes and with head up try and visualise how the end of the runway looks. Open eyes and compare. When the visualisation and the reality match up it is time to go flying. cheers Davidh

Never stop being a kid. Never stop feeling and seeing and being excited with great things like air and engines and sounds of sunlight within you. Wear your little mask if you must to protect you from the world but if you let that kid disappear you are grown up and you are dead. — Richard Bach, 'Nothing by Chance,' 1963.
