Watching Metallic Birds

As I write this post, I am sitting at Denver International Airport, watching human flying machines takeoff too land.  Within a duo of hours, I volition last inward the air myself, enjoying the scenery too and then the urban lights on my means to Columbia, Missouri.  That remain volition last brief, since nosotros innovation to motility downwards to our condo on Longboat Key.

Though I cannot wing a plane, I taste views of the basis from higher upward too sure enough appreciate the efficiency of jet travel.  While it cannot stand upward for the liberty of avian flight, it is the closest nosotros humans volition probable croak (except for the purpose of gliders) too I expect forwards to every opportunity.

Even the sight of those big birds landing too taking off is inspiring; a British Airways 747 simply arrived from London, highlighting the technological progress that our species has made.  Who knows what the futurity may agree but, during my lifetime, the might to uncovering our planet from 30,000 feet is rewarding enough.
