Eyes Turned Skyward White Art.
This famous aviation quote “Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward”. is often incorrectly attributed to Leonardo da Vinci. It was actually written by American television writer John H. Secondari for the 1965 ABC documentary: I, Leonardo da Vinci.

In 1965 an educational film titled “I, Leonardo da Vinci” with a script written by John H. Secondari was created. The audio track included the thoughts and ideas of Leonardo presented as exposition for the viewer. This speculative synthesized material was authored by Secondari based on biographical information about Leonardo’s life. Professor Carlo Pedretti of the University of California, Los Angeles acted as the consultant historian. One scene in the film depicted Leonardo concluding that humans supplemented with bat-like wings would be able to fly.
Pilots and travelers look at the sky differently after seeing the world from above. The physical earth feels temporary once you have experienced the freedom of the air. The dream of flying and becoming a pilot starts with a deep fascination for the open sky. Turning this childhood or lifelong goal into reality requires passing a medical exam, completing ground school, logging flight hours with an instructor, and earning certifications like a Private Pilot License, commercial Pilot License, or military undergraduate and graduate Pilot training.
