According to recognized aero technical tests, the bumblebee cannot fly because of the shape and weight of his body in relation to the total wing area. The bumblebee doesn't know this, so he goes ahead and flies anyway.

Aeronautics was neither an industry nor a science. It was a miracle.

It would be right to say that the helicopter's role in saving lives represents one of the most glorious pages in the history of human flight.

The helicopter is probably the most versatile instrument ever invented by man. It approaches closer than any other to fulfillment of mankind's ancient dreams of the flying horse and the magic carpet.

If you are in trouble anywhere in the world, an airplane can fly over and drop flowers, but a helicopter can land and save your life.

Money lost-nothing lost, Health lost-little lost, Spirit lost-everything lost.
