Secret of Flight

SECRET OF FLIGHT The Wrights knew it at Kittyhawk, Albemarle Sound I know it whenever I leave the ground You will know it after this tale unvarnished round. How does a plane fly? Science is phooey jumble. One moment you’re rumbling along the concrete dry The next you're up off the concrete, no rumble. I think the pilot just presses the magic button that says “FLY” And I like the feeling you get, like being on a child’s swing For the first time in ten years on a fling. Forget coefficients of drag and lift and other logic When a Jumbo leaves earth it’s simply magic.
