There's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane? — Elaine Dickinson · 1980 Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds,-and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of-wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there, I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air... Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace Where never lark nor ever eagle flew- And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God. — John Gillespie Magee, Jr · 1941 I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others. — Amelia Earhart · 1937 There are only two emotions in a plane: boredom and terror. — Orson Welles · 1985 Success. Four flights Thursday morning. All against twenty-one mile wind. Started from level with engine power alone. Average speed through air thirty-one miles. Longest 57 seconds. Inform press. Home Christmas. — Orville Wright · 1903 Off we go into the wild blue yonder, Climbing high into the sun. — Robert MacArthur Crawford · 1939
