A Dream to Fly
Just found this one, couldn't find the credit for who wrote it though...
A Dream to Fly It's in your blood; you don't know why Just one goal; you've got to fly To feel your craft; take to flight It's been your dream; 'most every night Then it came; your first flight You spread your wings; it sure felt right Above the ground, so high and free; You could only think, it's meant to be Ground school, flight school; summer and fall So many lessons; to learn it all Stalls and spins; and the lazy eight You love to fly; but these you hate Private, commercial; then ATP A lot of work; you'll come to see To build up time; you must agree You'd fly anything; you'd fly for free Snow streaks by, in your lights; What a show, this cold winter night Rain at the airport; dark and cold Break out on top; a sight to behold Cloud gives way; the storm is past The air is smooth; your plane is fast See the mountains; and oceans too So many places; you'll pass through Slice through clouds; on silver wings So magnificent; to see these things Props and jets; big and small Coast to coast; you'll see it all It's in your blood; you don't know why You just can't stop; you've got to fly |
Great stuff! Anybody with a passion for flying can relate. And so true I agree:
"Stalls and spins; and the lazy eight You love to fly; but these you hate" |
Whoever wrote that needs to get a life.

"To build up time; you must agree
You'd fly anything; you'd fly for free." Sounds like it was written by a PFT. |
"To build up time; you must agree
You'd fly anything; you'd fly for free." Must have been posted at the the Mesa academy in AZ |
The poem was written in 1995 by John Cronin. He has a website.

I like it. That just about describes me.

Good Attitude
I remember sharing that attitude when I was 18 perhaps. A few years later the realities of life hit me in the face and I realized that I needed to be able to make a living as well.
The joy dims quite a bit when staring at the probability facing a lifetime of poverty. Skyhigh |
The guy that wrote 'High Flight' also needed to get a life. All flying poems are lame.
