The miracle of flying

Even though I flown around the world more then once, I still think it is somewhat of a miracle. Just imagine that about 100 years ago people never dared to think of flying high in the sky alongside birds or even higher.

Now a century later people hop on a plane and have the pilot take them wherever they want to go. It is as easy as flagging a cab and have the cab driver take you that any streetcorner.

Flying is great and is part of everyday life. Could you live/travel without the option of flying? I know I can’t
