  • In the early days of aviation, there was a great deal of experimentation and a high death rate. -- Elon Musk
  • If you go back to the early days of aviation, the guys designing it built it, and then they got in it and flew it. I mean, who does that anymore? -- Graham Hawkes
  • In the early 1930s, flying from England to Australia was the longest flight in the world. It was considered extremely dangerous and hazardous, pushing pilots to the limits of mechanical skills and human endurance. Aviation was young. -- Mary Garden
  • Sir Richard Branson is probably the best communicator ever. He was an inspiration for me - contrary to some reports, we've never done business together, although we did discuss an aviation venture very early on. I don't think easyJet competes with Virgin - we're in different areas. -- Stelios Haji-Ioannou
  • I made about fifty-four dollars a week and spent it on two flying lessons every week at the age of sixteen and was able to get a license then pretty early and knew that that's what I wanted to do, some kind of a career in aviation. I did know about space flight, but at that point, it was still pretty far out there. -- Kevin A. Ford
  • At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation. -- Igor Sikorsky
