Have you ever dreamed of selling everything you own and setting off on a flying adventure? I know a man who did. And the adventure was in a Breezy, a home built, "open air" plane in which our hero flew to all 48 states on the U.S. mainland giving free rides to kids with cancer and raising money for charity.

No, this is not a fairytale, it is a true story. But to make it sound a little more like a fairytale, our hero never felt alone because he says flew that 50-thousand miles with the spirit of the American poet Robert Frost.

"Come sail with me
Upon a sea,
A sea where seagulls glide."

"The winds are fair,
The ship is right,
We'll sail upon the tide."

When fair winds blow,
Seafarers go
Out on the bounding main,

When fair winds blow,
We too shall go,
to a field to fly our plane.

Sailors Cast off,
In worthy boats,
Of wood with cotton sails

Ours, too, is made
Of wood and cloth,
like those that flew the mails.

And, while their boats,
Tack to and fro,
Sails tugging at their shrouds;

We'll lift our craft,
Above the rest,
And sail among the clouds.
