This video talks about the ever growing and wide variety in the world of aviation. It starts out with the speaker, Kip Blakely, talking about his childhood and how he first became interested in aviation. He talks about how his first dream of flying was playing on a swing set during recess at school while wearing a Superman cape. He goes on to explain that the world of aviation has grown so much that aircraft manufacturers are so behind on their orders that if you were to place an order today, it may take up to seven years for the order to be fulfilled. He then gives a scenario where three kids are at a playground and they see a plane fly above them. The first kid says, "I want to design a plane". The second kid says, "I want to build that plane". And the third kid says, "I want to fly that plane". This shows that there is such a wide diversity within the world of aviation that almost anyone can become involved in it. Blakely then concludes by saying that it is not about the present when it comes to aviation, but the future.
