This site is dedicated to aviation and to those who brought it to us, from the Wright Brothers, the barnstormers, the adventurers, inventors, and pilots who began and furthered aviation, and to general aviation in particular, the part that applies to us, the ordinary people who just need to fly. To the brave men and women who went ahead of us and forged the way, THANK YOU!!

The ultimate responsibility of the pilot is to fulfill the dreams of the countless millions of earthbound ancestors who could only stare skyward and wish.

AN AIRMAN'S GRACE

Lord of thunderhead and sky
Who placed in man the will to fly
Who taught his hand speed, skill and grace
To soar beyond man's dwelling place

You shared with him the Eagle's view
The right to soar, as Eagles do
The right to call the clouds his home
And grateful, through your heavens roam

May all assembled here tonight
And all who love the thrill of flight
Recall with twofold gratitude
Your gift of Wings, Your gift of Food.

-- Father John MacGillivray

May every one of your days be SKC and calm!
