The Fearless Flyer represents and honors the rich aviation history we are a part of. The leather helmet and goggles are a nod to the pioneers of aviation who flew in open air cockpits in all kinds of weather. The feathered wings represent the first flying creatures who inspired man to take flight as well. The skeleton head represents the long line of pilots and aviators who have gone before us while also reminding us of the importance of safety and our own mortality.
