Wilbur Wright
“The desire to fly is an idea handed down to us by our ancestors who... looked enviously on the birds soaring freely through space... on the infinite highway of the air.”
― Wilbur Wright

Michael               Wilson
“Why is this all so complicated? As anyone who's ever looked at the U.S. tax code knows, the government doesn't always do simple. That's why we're here—to cut through the bureaucratic language and give you the straight talk. We’ve done the hard work of digging through this dumpster fire and taking out just the things that are worth saving to your brain.”
― Michael Wilson, Red Raven Part 107 Guidebook: A Complete Study Guide for the FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certification
