Aviator
As a fan of flight and aviation, this is one of my personal favorite quotes. Also, Charles Lindbergh was born on Feb. 4th, 1902.

“For once you have tasted flight, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return.”
And then he got older, and fled America, and became an admirer of Adolph Hitler because Hitler provided order and stability to Germany, as versus his opinion of America… “We Americans are a primitive people. We do not have discipline. Our moral standards are low.” (Yes, real quote).
Sigh, finding out that our heroes have feet of clay is so disheartening…
I love this.
Dude. You have *got* to go the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum in Washington D.C. It is a must see for any aviation fanatic. I went when it first opened and immediately fell in love. I haven’t been to D.C. or the museum in FAR too long.
actually, badtux, he fought during wwii FOR the us. he did not think we needed to be interfering with problems going on in other countries. the nazis ran with that and used it to their advantage like the twats they were/are. totally antisemitic though, will give you that.
