Todd Austman of Calgary, Alberta, won the miter plane from Philly Planes in our “Quote of the Year” contest for this little jewel:
– Vincent Van Gogh
We had hundreds of entries, which we narrowed down to about 75 of the best quotes that we plan to use in the coming year. (When we use your quote, we’ll notify you and send you our latest hardbound book. It might take a bit of time for your quote to come up, so please be patient.)
There were a couple other quotes that came very close to snatching the top honors. Here are a few of them for your enjoyment:
– an aviation saying often attributed to Will Rogers
“The more complex the mind, the greater the need for simplicity of play.”
– James T. Kirk
“Ya it’s short – but only on one end.”
– Anon
Thanks to all of you who entered the contest. Your contributions, suggestions and scoldings are what make it a better magazine and inspire us to make each issue better than the last.
