Educate Yourself In Aviation And Fly With The Birds! By James Bunter

Humans have been gazing at the skies, dreaming of leaving behind their earth-bound existences and joining the birds in a world which was, for most of our history, denied to us probably since the dawn of time. In almost all classic works, there are references to the desire to fly. The theme of flight as a dream has been used in thousands of poems and songs.

In the 16th century, Leonardo da Vinci created a sketch of a machine which he believed would help humans achieve their quest to take to the skies. Well before his time, Leonardo Da Vinci's spirit was flying free, more than 300 years before powered flight was turned into reality by the Wright brothers -- themselves working from the platforms that came into existence through other flight machine inventors in 1903.

Breaking Free Through Flight

Maybe it's hard to believe, but it's only been just over one century, that people have been flying in planes. It is incredible how much progress has been made in such a short time. There are many sizes, capacities, and shapes of the airplanes now flying. The best part is, flight is not limited to a select few people with the know-how and the opportunity; today, flight lessons are available to everyone, and are more than affordable.

There truly is no better way to break free from the dreary everyday work world than by taking to the sky in a plane. No need to be stressed by the other drivers when there is no traffic or traffic lights. When in the air, you are alone with your instruments.

Give Yourself New Perspective

The peaceful solitude is only one benefit of flight. You will also get to see the world from a perspective most people never see, looking down to see what humans make out of their environment, as well as flying over large spans of undeveloped country and enjoying views of areas that are difficult, if not impossible, to access by land. Viewing these scenes from the ground can certainly never compare to seeing them as you will from your plane!

People should not feel so intimidated by flying, be it due to your experience, or your wallets thickness. Flying is something that is accessible to all. Lessons are widely available at reasonable prices. You may never be able to afford your own plane, but you most likely can afford one of the rentals that are available across America.

If you have thought of finding freedom through flight, don't let anything stop you. Why not find out for yourself about the exhilarating experience of flying a plane!
