Favourite quotes about flying

I've always wondered about that quote--a very odd thing to say because it is
in the voice of someone who has flown, but he never did.

The statement itself ranks pretty high but the fact that this quote is
about 500 years old makes it my favorite:

"When once you have tasted flight, you will always walk the earth with
your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you always
will long to return."
Leonardo da Vinci, 1452-1519

That may be true. But I think man has always looked at the birds and hawks
soaring above the earth and dreamed about being up there. I dream about
soaring without a plane all the time.

Don't run out of altitude, airspeed, and ideas all at one time....
