“What a ride. What a flight. What a day. Just when I thought I’d done it all, the Blades go and wow me again. The flight opened my eyes and blew my mind. This is taking the flying experience to a whole new physical level. This is flying with the grown-ups. The Blades took me one giant step closer to my dream of flying to space. And it felt fantastic. I’ll be back for more.”
