"Below you is spread a stupendous panorama,..... The green carpet of the earth laced with rivers and roads, speckled with cities and towns. Down there the teeming crowds struggle along the old familiar paths — up here you are in a new world, alone with the steady hum of your engine and the song of rushing wind. Flying to many has always seemed an attainment reserved for supermen; they have never considered it within range of their own capabilities. Nothing could be further from the truth!"

- Safair Flying School, Long Island brochure ca. 1930s (Source: AOPA)
