The man who flies an airplane ... must believe in the unseen.
Richard Bach

You don't tell the quality of a master by the size of his crowds.
Richard Bach
Image
Life's battles don't always go to the strongest or fastest sooner or later those who win are those who think they can.

What would our lives be like without tests, odds against us, adventure, risk?
Richard Bach
Image
Flying prevails whenever a man and his airplane are put to a test of maximum performance.
Richard Bach

What matters is how I use what I know, every minute of every day how I use it to remember, in the midst of the game.
