A PILOT'S CREED

I BELIEVE in flying, man's noble inheritance

from the Supreme Being which enables me to

view the wonders of the Universe from a high

vantage point, exceeded only by infinity.

Through this experience I learn humility in the

knowledge that I am but one of insignificance

among so many who are truly great.

I KNOW that the upper tradewinds, as they

blow, may slow my progress through the sky

while they enhance the groundspeed of another

on the opposite heading, but that I may benefit

on the return flight.

I BELIEVE that man was destined to fly and I

have wings. May these wings chart the course

toward an unclouded horizon and the betterment

of generations yet to come.
