There's something so powerful about that sight where the Solar Impulse flies over the Pyramids... one of humanity's oldest grand engineering feats juxtaposed with one of our newest. Our spirit of creation transcends location and time.
There's another really striking thing to that juxtaposition: it's an aircraft powered by the sun that the Egyptians worshipped and that inspired the construction of those very pyramids. It also matches the lyrics at the moment it appears: nothing better to illustrate feeling at home in the sky than a plane capable of staying aloft indefinitely.
Someone who was a teenager when the Wrights made their first flight in 1903 could easily have still been around to see Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin land on the moon in 1969.
My dad was an Air Force pilot. He lived and breathed flying. He painted airplanes. His favorite poem was, unsurprisingly, John Gillespie Magee, Jr.’s High Flight. My sister and I used to joke that to get his attention we’d need to have propellers on our noses. When he died, I pictured him standing behind young pilots as they learned to fly, giving them the confidence and deep love he had for flying. Inspiring them. The first time I heard Sogno di Volare, I cried. Dad would have loved it.

It reminds me of that wonderful poem by John Gillespie, High Flight but with different words. One could literally feel as you watch the videos, that you are up there. My father was a Fleet Air Arm pilot in the RN and adored flying. He rarely speeded on the road as he always said he got those thrills in the air and I can see why. What a wow of a piece of music. My heart really soared as the aircraft climbed and flew through the air as I enjoy flying myself and fly back and forth to school when I was at Aberdeen from Heathrow and to other places. The thrill as the undercarriage lifted up as the pilot exerted that thrust into the sky, the sheer wonder of it all, I have never grown out of, thinking of all those pioneers who first took up the challenge of lifting into the sky. Perhaps I am a romantic deep at heart but then I feel we need more romance with all this doom and gloom. The exhilaration is spell binding.

One day our future generations just like us, will look back and see how far we've come from 'simply' landing on the moon to reaching the limits of space and beyond.
This actually made me cry a bit. Leonardo DaVinci would be proud of us. We went from flying just a hundred feet off the ground to toward the stars in less than 70 years. We have come so far.

@@arthurcosta2655 Lilienthal was the man in the glider at the beginning. Santos Dumont, while influential, did not make the first heavier-than-air, powered flight, as the Wright Brothers did so the previous year.
When the Spirit of St-Louis touches down in France and other planes are escorting him at that altitude... what a sight this must have been. I can only imagine the noise, the tension and the emotion!
nope, last i checked, the SpaceX's Starship has fully stacked (albeit then quickly removed again) and also, SLS also has been like, halfway done, so... yes, Saturn V has been dethroned
@@光一ミュラー Neither the SLS nor the complete Super Heavy/Starship have flown yet, but once the Super Heavy is ready, the colossal waste of money called SLS (Senate Launch System) will become obsolete. It's also worth noting that neither the Block 1 or Block 1B versions of the SLS will match the payload capacity of the Saturn V.
@@光一ミュラー Starship is cool, and definitely the future. But the Saturn V just has a majesty about it, and a legacy, that can simply never be matched. Even once it's outdated technologically, the legacy will live on. The Saturn V was also mostly hand crafted when it came to the touch ups. Each one was a little different. All of them did what they were intended to do. And at the time of it's flight, the Saturn V was the safest rocket ever built for manned spaceflight.
I would like to see more pioneers and less army planes in this video. I'm pretty sure that, when the lyrics talk about filling the universeve with wonder and glory, are not refering to bombing or killing ourselves. Per Aspera Ad Astra, Together.
I find it so strange watching old videos in black and white knowing these were real people who though the same and saw colour but now they’re all gone and no longer exist just something creeps me out about that when I watch old footage I think it’s may be to do with how we know nothing until we’re born and watching all this happen when I wasn’t even born but time was different as I just appeared one day in the course of 17 years whilst all these people were living lives and figuring out technology (thank you for coming to my ted talk)
Great video, I am sure Christopher Tin would agree. But not to split hairs, 1969 Apollo 11 was Man's First Moon Landing; (Christmas) 1968 Apollo 8 was Man's First Flight to the Moon! §:c)
Thanks! I understand what you mean. When I was making the video, I wanted to add 1 big achievement in space flight. I was doubting which space mission to add. So I chose between the Apollo 8, Apollo 11 mission and Yuri Gagarin's first flight in to space.. Finally I went for Apollo 11, as Apollo 11, for me, is perhaps the biggest achievement in the history of (space)flight. Maybe I should had added "first landing on the moon" as text to clear that out.. Greetings.
2:37 Isn't a F7U Cutlass, it is actually the first jet aircraft landing on an aircraft carrier, a Sea Vampire. On 3 December 1945 a RN Sea Vampire piloted by Erick “Winkle” Brown landed on the HMS Ocean.
@@oblivion5390 oh sure, you can use something like a coffee brewer to kill someone, prolly by bashing the sucker on the head, or use a fridge to store ammunition and such, even a laptop can be used to kill somebody, if you hit them hard enough, you'll lose the laptop, but the guy will be dead. Dumbass.
It is astonishing to me the amount of technological progress mankind has made in flight in a century! We went from the first airplane in 1903 to sending a rocket to the moon in 1969!

Boeing 777 (GE90 engines have an awesome sound when they start up)
SR-71 Blackbird (One of the fastest planes ever built. Very badass looking. They're made of titanium, which is heat resistant)
Inspirational video that restores resilience in aviation in the post - pandemic world.
This song goes with everything, Nice compilation!
Really nice clips, perfectly fitting that wonderful song
No im not crying ... Honestly....
At the lyric video- segment" Gaze towards the sky and you'll know that", a befitting tribute to Sir J.R.D Tata's Legacy to Civil Aviation and Air India owned by Tata Sons can be included to tap the potential of aviation historians and aviation photographers in India. Thank you RCA Photography for the Dream of Flight Video viewed by the Citizens of India and aviation enthusiasts on a daily basis for inspiration.
something about this video gives me chills
Beautiful tribute, but where is Yuri Gagarin, first man in space?
he also didnt mention that the Tu-144 was the first passenger super sonic aircraft
@@IkarimTheCreature an American likely made this.
yeah.. miss Santos-Dummond and Otto Lilienthal too
@@pyroparagon8945 Yeah. Looking at you Enterprise credit run.
@@arthurcosta2655 Lilienthal was the man in the glider at the beginning. Santos Dumont, while influential, did not make the first heavier-than-air, powered flight, as the Wright Brothers did so the previous year.
When the Spirit of St-Louis touches down in France and other planes are escorting him at that altitude... what a sight this must have been.
I can only imagine the noise, the tension and the emotion!
It's gorgeous... and I don't say that often.
It's mind blowing that we went from the Wright Flyer to the SR-71 in the space of a person's lifetime.
Part of the wright brothers plane was sent to Mars with the new Mars rover
Wait what!?
I´ve got video casettes of The Dream of flight document as a kid - the best documentary film ever!
Lovely, Absolutely lovely mate. Those 10 people who dsliked were probably drunk and couldnt hear and see right ngl.
Our school sang this as a choir and it was beautiful
Over 1 year of time and not a single dislike
Wow! 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you for the wonderful video!
The first human starships built should be named Orville and Wilbur Wright
I agree! Those two men are the ones who started it all. Very fitting tribute to them.
USS Orville Wright
USS Wilbur Wright
Yeah that would be very fitting, a permanent mark on mankind's history...
No wonder this song felt extra inspirational to me. ITS ABOUT FLIGHT.
Best theme of all the civs
2:48
Saturn V, still the KING of rockets!
And here's the composer's own UA-cam channel:

nope, last i checked, the SpaceX's Starship has fully stacked (albeit then quickly removed again) and also, SLS also has been like, halfway done, so... yes, Saturn V has been dethroned
@@光一ミュラー
Neither the SLS nor the complete Super Heavy/Starship have flown yet, but once the Super Heavy is ready, the colossal waste of money called SLS (Senate Launch System) will become obsolete.
It's also worth noting that neither the Block 1 or Block 1B versions of the SLS will match the payload capacity of the Saturn V.
@@fromnorway643 oh, interesting
@@光一ミュラー Starship is cool, and definitely the future. But the Saturn V just has a majesty about it, and a legacy, that can simply never be matched. Even once it's outdated technologically, the legacy will live on. The Saturn V was also mostly hand crafted when it came to the touch ups. Each one was a little different. All of them did what they were intended to do. And at the time of it's flight, the Saturn V was the safest rocket ever built for manned spaceflight.
@@mariaprange916 huh, very interesting trivia,thanks
Oh, I love this so much!
Chills man
This needs to be played for the starship orbital launch!
Crazy to think that took only 66 years from the first plane to the first man on the moon
very inspiring, approved
Underrated video
I want to be an inventor, and this is inspiring af.

For the sky and beyond.
I would like to see more pioneers and less army planes in this video. I'm pretty sure that, when the lyrics talk about filling the universeve with wonder and glory, are not refering to bombing or killing ourselves. Per Aspera Ad Astra, Together.
Ag Pilots in their monoplanes can also be included in this video for their contribution to agricultural aviation.
POWERFUL !!!! THUNDEROUS INDEED !! LOVE IT !! FROM U.K.
Civ 6 music. this is amazing
meilleures vidéos de l'histoire de l'aviation
I prefer this to the official music video.
Santos Dumont - Brazil
Where's Alberto Santos Dummont?
BTW a really great video, good job!
Incredible
I find it so strange watching old videos in black and white knowing these were real people who though the same and saw colour but now they’re all gone and no longer exist just something creeps me out about that when I watch old footage I think it’s may be to do with how we know nothing until we’re born and watching all this happen when I wasn’t even born but time was different as I just appeared one day in the course of 17 years whilst all these people were living lives and figuring out technology (thank you for coming to my ted talk)
Magnificent
I cannot wait for to shiver the sky
2:48 I like how it does a Danny Elfman here
Goosebumps
This gives me faith in humanity
3:20 Rip Mrija =(
A video about aviation history and nothing about santos dumont and the first plane ever invented the 14bis ????????
Great video, I am sure Christopher Tin would agree. But not to split hairs, 1969 Apollo 11 was Man's First Moon Landing; (Christmas) 1968 Apollo 8 was Man's First Flight to the Moon! §:c)
Thanks!
I understand what you mean.
When I was making the video, I wanted to add 1 big achievement in space flight.
I was doubting which space mission to add.
So I chose between the Apollo 8, Apollo 11 mission and Yuri Gagarin's first flight in to space..
Finally I went for Apollo 11, as Apollo 11, for me, is perhaps the biggest achievement in the history of (space)flight.
Maybe I should had added "first landing on the moon" as text to clear that out..
Greetings.
It would be nice if you could add the Salyut and Voyager, the first space station, and the first interstellar flight.
Dedicated to all pioneers...
Chills
2:50
Gagarin: POYEKHALI!
We Can!
Freedom isn't Free.
2:37 I think you found the only footage of a cutlass landing where it doesn't blow up.
2:37 Isn't a F7U Cutlass, it is actually the first jet aircraft landing on an aircraft carrier, a Sea Vampire.
On 3 December 1945 a RN Sea Vampire piloted by Erick “Winkle” Brown landed on the HMS Ocean.
@@RCA-Photography my bad, jumped to conclusions and I'm kinda embarrassed I mixed the two up
Hey man, where is first flight into space, i think it has neccesery part in flight history?
Such beautiful creations would inevitably be used in war.
Every human inventions can be used in both peaceful and destructive way.
@@oblivion5390 oh sure, you can use something like a coffee brewer to kill someone, prolly by bashing the sucker on the head, or use a fridge to store ammunition and such, even a laptop can be used to kill somebody, if you hit them hard enough, you'll lose the laptop, but the guy will be dead.
Dumbass.
The Jetman Dubai team need to play this song at demonstrations
It is astonishing to me the amount of technological progress mankind has made in flight in a century! We went from the first airplane in 1903 to sending a rocket to the moon in 1969!
Which language song is this ?
Italian
Nice video!
Why you dont show vostok
Fuck the Covenants, the Jar Jar Binks, the Uruks the dragons the... everything.... Mankind ftw.
