Victoria Falls Flight, Africa, 1997

"'Angels in their flight' would have paused to marvel at Victoria Falls, wrote missionary and explorer David Livingstone, who in 1855 became the first European to see the mile-wide [1.6-kilometer-wide] cataract on the Zambezi. Today ultralights provide a heavenly view."

—From "Down the Zambezi," October 1997, National Geographic magazine
