It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
The only way to describe the excitement and terror of the early aviation industry.

Sometimes I wish I lived in the time of the early exciting adventures of the brand new aviation industry, a time when it took only a few hours and a few dollars to become a certified pilot. Some pilots didn't even have a certificate, they just flew! A time when your first solo was possibly your first flight. A time when aviation had just emerged from the minds of brilliant men to become a reality. Aviation changed the course of history, it changed the military, the civilians, and most importantly the mission field.
We live in amazing times of aviation technology. I love flying. Every airplane has its own name, its own personality. If you fall in love with aviation, there isn't anything that could take you away from it.
