However, the bit about Monte Cerceri actually IS a Da Vinci quote (or at least a paraphrasing of it).

Goosebumps, tears, feelings of joy. You get the whole package in this video!

Rest well Meastro da Vinci... We did it, we finally truly did it. We flew, just like you dreamed we would.

It reminds me of that wonderful poem by John Gillespie, High Flight but with different words. One could literally feel as you watch the videos, that you are up there. My father was a Fleet Air Arm pilot in the RN and adored flying. He rarely speeded on the road as he always said he got those thrills in the air and I can see why. What a wow of a piece of music. My heart really soared as the aircraft climbed and flew through the air as I enjoy flying myself and fly back and forth to school when I was at Aberdeen from Heathrow and to other places. The thrill as the undercarriage lifted up as the pilot exerted that thrust into the sky, the sheer wonder of it all, I have never grown out of, thinking of all those pioneers who first took up the challenge of lifting into the sky. Perhaps I am a romantic deep at heart but then I feel we need more romance with all this doom and gloom. The exhilaration is spell binding.

My tear dropping by itself... We've come far....

Inspirational video that restores resilience in aviation in the post - pandemic world.

One day our future generations just like us, will look back and see how far we've come from 'simply' landing on the moon to reaching the limits of space and beyond.

This actually made me cry a bit. Leonardo DaVinci would be proud of us. We went from flying just a hundred feet off the ground to toward the stars in less than 70 years. We have come so far.
