Mission Statement

Begin with the end in mind...

How Fast ?

You will begin to touch heaven, Jonathan, in the moment that you touch perfect speed. And that isn't flying a thousand miles an hour, or a million, or flying at the speed of light. Because any number is a limit,

and perfection doesn't have limits. Perfect speed, my son, is being there.

"Jonathan Livingston Seagull" - Richard Bach
