“Instead of our drab slogging forth and back to the fishing boats, there's a reason to life! We can lift ourselves out of ignorance, we can find ourselves as creatures of excellence and intelligence and skill. We can be free! We can learn to fly!”
— Richard Bach, 'Jonathan Livingston Seagull,' 1970.
In the book, voluntarily estranged Jonathan Livingston Seagull finds a reason for his life. Exploring the limitless boundaries of the sky, he sets an example for all the seagulls and leaves us astounded by his ideology of achieving the seemingly impossible heights. Greatly inspired by the same ideology, were some of the men and women of all the centuries who dared to think beyond the cordoned conventions. Had it not been for the very first sketches of flying machines by Leonardo da Vinci and for the invention of airplane by the Wright brothers, the human race would not have witnessed the present day high-tech aircrafts. Today’s Aviation Industry is a legacy of these great legends.
