No, it isn't. This is my story:
I've always wanted to be an airline pilot. As a little boy, growing up in Riviera Beach, FL, when television would go off at night, TV stations showed military aircraft while playing the National Anthem. After the anthem, a narrator would say the poem "High Flight". At the end, when they are showing the fighter pilot sitting in the cockpit with his sunshield down, the narrator would say those words that stuck with me for the rest of my life...."and I will slip the surly bonds of earth...reach out and touch the Face of God". In the great wisdom & innocent understanding of a 5-6 year old, I equated being a pilot with literally being able to "reach out and touch the FACE of GOD! I know who gave me the desire to fly.
