| | Charles Lindberg on Parachute Jumping (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) |
 | | [This is a quote by Charles Lindberg, the first person to fly from New York to Paris, solo, non-stop.] |
 | | I watched him strap on his harness and helmet, climb into the cockpit and, minutes later, a fl dot falls off the wing two thousand feet above our field. |
 | | It lay beyond the descriptive words of man -- where immortality is touched through danger, where life meets death on equal plane; where man is more than man, and existence both supreme and valueless at the same instant. |
