The mastery of the turn is the story of how aviation became practical as a means of transportation. It is the story of how the world became small.
I always felt Jimmy was trapped in Hollywood. He felt it himself. He loved aviation so much and he wanted to be able to do more of that. He somehow just got stuck here.
In the early 1930s, flying from England to Australia was the longest flight in the world. It was considered extremely dangerous and hazardous, pushing pilots to the limits of mechanical skills and human endurance. Aviation was young.
In the coming era of manned space exploration by the private sector, market forces will spur development and yield new, low-cost space technologies. If the history of private aviation is any guide, private development efforts will be safer, too.
If you go back to the early days of aviation, the guys designing it built it, and then they got in it and flew it. I mean, who does that anymore?
Each and every one of the security measures we implement serves an important goal: providing safe and efficient air travel for the millions of people who rely on our aviation system every day.
In aviation they have auto pilot and color radar and a lot of other instrumentation that is a backup for pilots. It's really brought the incidents of plane crashes way down. Same thing ought to happen in the medical industry, I think.
Howard Hughes: Do you know those men? Do they work for me? Noah Dietrich: Everybody works for you, Howard.
Spencer Tracy: Trouble with Mr. Hughes? Katharine Hepburn: There's too much "Howard Hughes" in Howard Hughes. That's the trouble.
[Howard is getting attention after flying around the world in 3 days] Katharine Hepburn: You know, fame is supposed to be *my* turf.
Howard Hughes: Sometimes I truly fear that I... am losing my mind. And if I did it... it would be like flying blind.
Howard Hughes: I feel like a little adventure. Katharine Hepburn: Do your worst, Mr. Hughes.
Juan Trippe: If you let him testify at that hearing, the whole world will see what he's become. They should remember him for what he was.
Sen. Ralph Owen Brewster: [talking of Howard Hughes] I'll have him dragged here to Washington. I want to see the whites of his lies.
James McNamara: Well, it certainly looks at this moment that Howard Hughes will be around the United States for quite some time to come.
Aviation in air, in water and in spirit. Its laws are different in all three cases. The spirit soars the more it weighs and sinks into itself. The heavier the spirit, the higher and farther it flies.
I went through different styles but realized Ray-Bans are the classics. You can't go wrong with them. I explore and cheat on them occasionally, but I always go back to the aviators.
I went to the University of Washington as a physics and astronomy major. My other interest, of course, was aviation. I always wanted to be a pilot. And if you're going to fly airplanes, the best place to be is the Air Force.
You come to Washington, there's a rail bill, there's a highway bill, there's a aviation bill. But when you go home, there's an airport, there's a highway, there's a rail, there's transit. It all has to work together.
The U.S. government doesn't build your computers, nor do you fly aboard a U.S. government owned and operated airline. Private industry routinely takes technologies pioneered by the government and turns them into cheap, reliable and robust industries....
You can't imagine a world, quite frankly, without a safe and secure aviation system. And so our job is to really focus on that, and what we need to do to keep it safe and secure.
