“We swung over the hills and over the town and back again, and I saw how a man can be master of a craft, and how a craft can be master of an element. I saw the alchemy of perspective reduce my world, and all my other life, to grains in a cup… And I learned to wander. I learned what every dreaming child needs to know—that no horizon is so far that you cannot get above it or beyond it.” — Beryl Markham, West with the Night
View From Above: Adventure
Key Takeaways:
- Pilots are typically driven by a strong sense of adventure and a desire for unique experiences, from seeing the world from above to challenging their skills.
- This adventurous spirit must be tempered with caution, respect for the laws of physics and society's regulations, and an overall mindfulness of action.
- Pilots' goal-oriented nature and the inevitability of human error mean they sometimes make critical mistakes or prioritize objectives over safety, leading to serious consequences as exemplified by Martha Lunken's recent incident.
