"This poem depicts the elements I love about Aviation. Aviation has given to me freedom, adventure, personality, the passion for living. To be up there with clouds surrounding me, with the sunlight falling on the windscreen, with the engines sounding constantly, and me controlling the flying machine,simply feeling the flying. Nothing else I can ask for in life."
"When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return."
WHAT MORE YOU CAN ASK IN LIFE ???
Aviation has given us science
Aircraft is a boon of innovation
Flying machine keeps us connected
It reduces the distances
It keeps the feeling alive
What more you can ask in life
Aviation has given us freedom
Flying high in the sky
Listening to the engine's sound
Flying gives you peace
which cant be easily found
It keeps the feeling alive
What more you can ask in life
Aviation has given us adventure
Doing flying maneuvers
Spiral dive, spin, lazy eight, chandelles
Are just few to name
Flying gives us a fame
It gives us constant excitement
It keeps the feeling alive
What more you can ask in life
Aviation has given us beauty
Touching the clouds
Passing through them
View of horizon
View of the grassland
The terrain below
Is a painting for us
It keeps the feeling alive
What more you can ask in life
Aviation has given us personality
The uniform I can die for
Epaulets, the wings, the collar pin
Add to our confidence
When we walk through the crowd
We bring the thunderstorm
Turning faces is the proof
You can never escape an eye
When pilots are here
It keeps the feeling alive
What more you can ask in life
