Just throw yourself at the ground and miss.

Bro, I sat in planes before, it’s not that hard

Define “fly”

I’ve been airborne due to me not jumping or falling, carrying a sheet of plywood and windy days are fun. Airfoil goes WHEEEE.

The scar on my forehead from honestly trying to fly is all of the evidence that I need that I honestly tried to fly.

"The Guide says there is an art to flying", said Ford, "or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss."

Me. I have. No, like, I've literally had flight lessons, 10/10 highly recommended.

Looks at framed certificate of pilots license...cries a little.

Just remember, kids! If you don't start from the flat ground it doesn't count as flying! So don't go jumping off the roof or the bridge, because even if you succeed we'll tell everyone you cheated.

cover yourself in oil

I did. Okay, the 1 megawatt indoor skydiving installation helped a bit, but I was flying.

I mean I have not researched but I tried pretty hard to jump off the ground and will myself up so I could fly like my dreams and I think that counts.

I flew in third grade during recess just east of the swings while I was chasing a leaf. Only flew about 3 feet off the ground for maybe 10-12 feet and glided back down.
