Icarus

'Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you will always long to return,' wrote Mr. da Vinci (1452 – 1519). In school I did learn the plane truth, and for your information, it's a collection of spare parts flying in close formation. And was it not Icarus in his day who, in so many words, was first heard to say, "Flying is for the birds!"
