"Some fly to survive, and others remain

to fly"

There [...] two types of pilots: those who lead in the blood the need to fly for the same reason they need to eat, sleep or breathe, and those who do work simply out of obligation or because they have no alternative. The latter often come to the profession by chance. However, the former are the concern since childhood, when they saw something in aircraft remarkable, mystical, sublime, perhaps.

Many of these began to build his first model airplanes or collecting photos, posters or any other collection of air reasons. They knew the specifications and details of any aircraft in detail. When they grow and are fortunate enough to make your children are thrilled floor, they felt most fortunate beings on the planet.

Pilots are a class apart from humans. They leave all the mundane to purify his spirit in the sky. This group knows the difference between flying to survive, and survive to fly. Aviation has also taught pride humility, and although flying is a spell, they voluntarily fall victim to their spell.

When sunny days, watch the sky constantly wanting to be up there. During the rainy and cloudy days recreate the procedures in your mind because the mind of the pilots is always accessible to new elements, and understand that to fly need to believe in the unknown. But the pilots are men logical, calm, disciplined , which by necessity need to think clearly, because otherwise they risk losing life violently.

The pilots did not see their aircraft as machines, on the contrary, they are life forms that breathe and have different personalities. At times dialogue and to quarrel with them. These seduced fatal aircraft perceive beauty gifts unconditionally. Because nothing stimulates more senses of an airman who exquisite shape of an aircraft. They can not avoid being infected by the spell and live the rest of their lives captivated by the spell of her beauty. For the pilot, receive a plane is like finding a lost family time and time again.

When the tragic fate shows its inexorable presence and lives are lost in air mishaps, the essence of the pilot is saddened by what happened. But you can not, perhaps for an infinitesimal second, that his memory goes back to the apparatus, and flicción hit by fallen friend, it is inevitable.

For the aviator, the sound of pistons is a splendid symphony. The sound of a jet, the synthesis of force. For him, airports are altars to human talent, there are daily challenges and miracles against the power of nature and the force of gravity. They are places where roads and borders shrink and the world shrinks.

In air, the pilot is in his element, that is where he belongs. It is there that manages to break free of slavery that attach to land. This privilege allows you to climb the mountain of prodigious dimensions in space and reach the sky that other mortals have not reached. This gift enables you to recognize that nobody has seen the mountains until you see his shadow from the sky.

No matter how many times you've seen the same plane, it is necessary to see it again.

Pilots perhaps can explain the physical moments of the flight, but describe what causes them to its existence it is impossible. For explaining the magic of flight is far beyond words.
