• Tom Hitchcock : This is a day to write home about.

  Duke Sinclaire : Dear Mother: Today we flew at a dizzy height. 25 feet off the ground. Our estimated speed: a reckless 40 miles an hour. Dear Mother: We have grown used to the smell of burnt castor oil. And the confusion of instruments: an altimeter, a compass, and a revolutions counter.

  Tom Hitchcock : Dear Mother: All he's gotta do now is land.
