For someone who can't fly it's amazing the places Ding Duck finds himself in the Aviation world. He's a perpetual student having logged over 5,987 flying lessons without ever once taking off. Yet you can find him on countless Flying School walls. His every attempt to fly ends in a mishap or disaster but he has featured in official Air safety campaigns. He fails all his flight theory exams but he appears in textbooks. His determination to get airborne despite the struggles, pitfalls and setbacks is what every aviator can relate to. Ding Duck is a reflection of the realities of the irony, pain and love of aviation, which causes endless frustration to most pilots; yet despite all this we, like Ding, keep coming back for more!
