The eagle soars in the sky searching for prey, depending on its sharp vision to survive. In the same way planes are guided by radar as they crisscross the skies defending the nation. The majestic bird of prey's wings unfold in a V shape, the first letter of the English word Victory. Those same wings give the eagle the power to protect its offspring until they are old enough to fend for themselves and carry on this glorious tradition. This is a model pilot. His finger points to the distant sky, a testament to his desire to defend the nation. The aviator's attireis a symbol of professionalism and bravery, the ability to fly with the wind and the courage to traverse the clouds. The story of China's first aviation academy, in the hamlet of jianqiao in Zhejiang Province, will be passed on forever, an unshakeablemodel for pilots in all ages.
