Why we fly

Why we fly

Cross-country aerial photo

If you ever find yourself at a loss for words when trying to explain to a "ground pounder" why we fly, show them this.

Or if you just want to remind yourself, take a look at this photo essay from two brothers who say they're just "happy bozos" lucky enough to fly.

In a cross-country trip in a Maule from California to Oshkosh and AirVenture, they captured incredible images of things only pilots can see.

Enjoy the view.
