I've topped the winds-swept heights where never Lark or even Eagle flew...

Flying has shown me the world from a perspective different than what most people see. I have seen the world from above, and once I had, it has never felt the same again.

I could never get tired of sunsets, rainbows, thunderstorms in the distance, green hills in spring, and the rolling waves of wheat in the fall.


I have looked down on places that others have spent a lifetime trying to get just close enough to see.
