“To me, flying is not the successful defying of death but the indulgence in the poetry of mechanical motion, a dustless, relatively bump-less, fascinating sensation of speed; and abstraction from things material into an infinite space; and abandon that is more exciting but less irritating than any other form of mechanical propulsion…Florida is a live, wide-awake place for aviators and St. Petersburg is the best town for that purpose…”Tony Jannus, 1914.
