I showed it is possible to fly a little bit like a bird.
Yves Rossy
Image
I cannot imagine anyone looking at the sky and denying God.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
One has the feeling of enormous safety. You don't have the torque from the propeller. You have no noise it's almost like little electric motors humming inside, and you feel sort of safe.
Erich Warsitz
Image
Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible.
Lord Kelvin
Image
The fundamental magic of flying, a miracle that has nothing to do with any of its practical purposes - purposes of speed, accessibility, and convenience - and will not change as they change.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
It's all right if your automobile goes wrong while you are driving it. You can get out in the road and tinker with it. But if your airplane breaks down, you can't sit on a convenient cloud and tinker with that!
Katherine Stinson
Image
We are coming into a new era of flight, an ear in which all past conception of time and distance is changing and changing at a very, very rapid rate.
Allan Haines Loughead
Image
Airpower has become predominant, both as a deterrent to war, and-in the eventuality of war-as the devastating force to destroy an enemy's potential and fatally undermine his will to wage war.
Omar N. Bradley
Image
It's wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky. Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears.
Helen Keller
Image
The Moon is essentially gray - no color - looks like plaster of paris - soft of gray sand.
Jim Lovell

Both optimists and pessimists contribute to society. The optimist invents the aeroplane, the pessimist the parachute.
George Bernard Shaw
Image
To the aircraft I aim, not the man.
Francesco Baracca
Image
The smallest amount of vanity is fatal in aeroplane fighting. Selfdistrust rather is the quality to which many a pilot owes his protracted existence.
Eddie Rickenbacker
Image
I have had the feeling that a properly constructed flying-machine should be capable of being flown as a kite and conversely, that a properly constructed kite should be capable of use as a flying-machine when driven by its own propellers.
Alexander Graham Bell
Image
Are you aware it is private property? Why you'll be asking be to bomb Essen next.
Kingsley Wood
Image
You don't think much of the individual, because you don't think you've hit him and you hope that he will bail out or something it's the aeroplane you've hit . . . normally it was more of a game if you like, you were outwitting and shooting down another aircraft, you were simply hitting metal.
Peter Malam Brothers
Image
The best you can hope for is a great collaborator.
Lauren Graham

Adolf Galland said that the day we took our fighters off the bombers and put them against the German fighters, that is, went from defensive to offsensive, Germany lost the air war. I made that decision and it was my most important decision during World War II. As you can imagine, the bomber crews were upset. The fighter pilots were ecstatic.
Jimmy Doolittle
Image
Rule books are paper - they will not cushion a sudden meeting of stone and metal.
Ernest K. Gann
Image
I was engaged in what I believe to be the most thrilling industry in the world-aviation. My heart still leaps when I see a tiny two-seater plane soaring gracefully through the sky. Our great airlines awe me. Yet I know they were not produced in a day or a decade.
William A. Patterson
Image
Sports, entertainment and aviation are three of the most exciting professions in the world you are dealing with the same magnitude.
John Travolta
Image
The creative conquest of space will serve as a wonderful substitute for war.
James Smith McDonnell
Image
Most pilots learn, when they pin on their wings and go out and get in a fighter, especially, that one thing you don't do, you don't believe anything anybody tells you about an airplane.
Chuck Yeager
Image
Try to secure advantages before attacking. If possible, keep the sun behind you.
