In one fell swoop, we have shrunken the earth.

Juan Trippe

The Shuttle is to space flight what Lindbergh was to commercial aviation.

Arthur C. Clarke

It was over in a blink of an eye, that moment when aviation stirred the modern imagination. Aviation was transformed from recklessness to routine in Lindbergh's lifetime. Today the riskiest part of air travel is the drive to the airport, and the airlines use a barrage of stimuli to protect passengers from ennui.

George Will

Glenn's 1962 Mercury flight was fraught with dramatics, from his 'Zero G and I feel fine!' exultation upon entering orbit to his reentry with what was feared was a faulty heat shield. After he safely splashed down, the nation erupted with applause and gratitude not seen since Charles Lindbergh's solo flight across the Atlantic.

Homer Hickam

Fundamentally, mankind was unimportant in the ecological system. Then, in one fell swoop, an evolutionary blink of an eye, the human race is transformed from something unimportant to the most important thing in the world.

Yuval Noah Harari

I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For, so swiftly it flew, the sight Could not follow it in its flight. I breathed a song into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For who has sight so keen and strong, That it can follow the flight of song? Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke; And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Artificial flight may be defined as that form of aviation in which a man flies at will in any direction by means of an apparatus attached to his body, the use of which requires personal skill. Artificial flight by a single individual is the proper beginning for all species of artificial flight, as the necessary conditions can most easily be fulfilled when man flies individually.

Otto Lilienthal

Ever since I was a little boy, I dreamed I would do something important in aviation.

Neil Armstrong

Kidney transplants seem so routine now. But the first one was like Lindbergh's flight across the ocean.

Joseph Murray

The Internet is the most important single development in the history of human communication since the invention of call waiting.

Dave Barry

Superheroes don't often get their powers in one fell swoop. It's like superhero puberty.

G. Willow Wilson

Aviation is going to control the world economically and militarily whether we like it or not. Airpower is not merely military aviation, it is also civilian aviation and airpower is peace power.

Roscoe Turner

This is a Solo Flight, but I want aviation enthusiasts and adventurers everywhere to join me in the endeavour.

Steve Fossett

It is exciting to hear one of your fondest ideas formulated in one fell swoop, better than you could have done yourself.

Jean Baudrillard

My message going forward is that I want to remind everyone in the aviation industry - especially those who manage aviation companies and those who regulate aviation - that we owe it to our passengers to keep learning how to do it better.

Chesley Sullenberger

In 1994, to motivate me to complete my pilot's license, my good friend, Gregg Maryniak, gave me Charles Lindbergh's autobiography of his solo flight across the Atlantic.
