The quote says, "Eye witness of the California flights as a rule seemed to imagine that something akin to a parachute jump was in progress, few realizing that the one great problem of aerial navigation from the beginning had been that of controlled flight and maintained equilibrium, which here, for the first time in history, it was their privilege to witness." -- Victor Lougheed
Not much is known about Victor Lougheed other than he is an aviation fanatic who personally witnesses history in the making on or near this very spot. So much so, his words were immortalized for the world to see.
