Historic flights

By Swapna Mitter · On May 3, 2017


He was only 17 when he boarded the first Boeing 747 aircraft. His wife and daughter joined him 38 years later as he flew the historic A 380 flight. This is Thomas Lee, an aviation enthusiast and a pioneer of sorts.

Mr Lee was kept busy throughout the flight. Having been on two historic flights, he was at the centre of a lot of media attention….”I was experiencing the B747 as a 17-year-old. Now at age 55, and a much different stage of my life, it was more emotional because I was also involved in the technology of the aircraft. Both experiences were equally exhilarating.”

That’s Classic

"... and at once it struck me what quality went to form a Man of Achievement, especially in Literature, and which Shakespeare possessed so enormously — I mean Negative Capability, that is, when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, Mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason."

John Keats
