You've flown lots of planes, more cool more different than most of us ever will. What's core to flying them all? How would you define airmanship? Many thanks!
Richard Bach
Flying all these aircraft is based on one single prayer that will never come true:
_Please let me become the sky._
From 10 mph in a paraglider to Mach 2 in an F-106 waits the same feeling. Surrounded by forever in the center of the sky, we yearn to become that foreverness, ourselves. Some say that's so, that our spirit lives forever.
Flying is the closest I've found to expressing that feeling, in this lifetime.

Richard Bach:
I have never read your books. But during a farewell speech I heard a quote from you. I was deeply touched - "Can miles truly separate you from friends? If you want to be with someone you love ... aren't you already there?". It is my humble request, please tell me which book of yours do I read first?
