THOUGHTS ON . . . ROTARY INTERNATIONAL

Flight

Flying may not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price.

~ Amelia Earhart

I have found adventure in flying, in world travel, in business, and even close at hand... Adventure is a state of mind - and spirit.

~ Jacqueline Cochran

A man should not leave this earth

with unfinished business. He

should live each day as if it was a

pre-flight check. He should ask

each morning, am I prepared to lift-

off?

~ Diane Frolov and

Andrew Schneider

No flying machine will ever fly from

New York to Paris ... [because] no

known motor can run at the requi-

site speed for four days without

stopping.

~ Orville Wright
