FLYING HIGH: Three plays (monologues) performed within one hour.  ‘Flying High” honors three minority and women aviation pioneers.

FLYING HIGH

“Standing Tall, Flying High"

"Standing Tall, Flying High" is one of three plays performed within one hour that make up the "Flying High" series.  "Standing Tall, Flying High" is the story of Neil Loving who lost both legs below the knee in a glider crash as a young man, opened a flying school 18 months later and designed, built and flew five experimental planes

"Standing Tall, Flying High" is performed in conjunction with a monologue on Bessie Coleman and Anne Morrow Lindbergh.  All three confronted formidable challenges and adversity. 

The plays have been performed to enthusiastic audiences at historical societies, aviation museums and high schools. 

“It hurts me to tell you this, but we were so poor we were evicted nine times – and I kept changing schools right up to the day I entered Cass Tech.  I graduated on a cold, drizzly January morning in 1934 wearing my father’s dress shores – two sizes too large – clutching my aeronautics diploma with fierce price – and considerable relief. “

“Like all human beings I’ve had my share of challenges and disappointments.  I learned long ago to measure a person by the way they respond to setbacks.  We all have them.” 
                                             ** 

“If you are in a hurry, don’t fly an airplane.  That’s not a contradiction, it’s the best advice I can give you.  One must be uncompromising about the aircraft one is about to fly and mindful of one’s own physical and mental preparedness on any given day.  It matters little how many hours one has flown previously – what matters is how well one pilot’s today.” 
                                             ** 
 

“After designing, building and flying experimental planes for fifteen years I entered college – with Clare’s strong support – to earn a degree in aeronautical engineering - so I could continue to do what I had been doing all my life with a technical school education.”
