I Believe I Can Fly . . .
The Wright brothers, Orville (August 19, 1871 – January 30, 1948) and Wilbur (April 16, 1867 – May 30, 1912), were two Americans who are generally credited with inventing and building the world’s first successful airplane and making the first controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight, on December 17, 1903.
In the two years afterward, the brothers developed their flying machine into the first practical fixed-wing aircraft. Although not the first to build and fly experimental aircraft, the Wright brothers were the first to invent aircraft controls that made fixed-wing powered flight possible.

An old pal of mine said something similar once. He attempted to launch himself off a tower block after ‘the love of his life’ packed him in.
I spent nearly 5 minutes holding him by the ankles as he dangled precariously off the balcony until the police arrived.
