because it makes people interested
in what they are doing.

Flying is the Second Greatest
Thrill known to Man....
Landing is the First
Truly Superior Pilots are those
who use their Superior Judgment
To avoid those situations where
They might have to use
Their Superior Flying Skills
A Pilot who doesn't have any Fear
Probably
Isn't Flying his Air Plane to its Maximum
The ultimate Responsibility of the Good Pilot
Is to fulfill the Dreams
Of the Countless Millions of Earthbound
Ancestors who Could only
Stare Skyward and Wish.
