"Flight" is a short story by American writer John Steinbeck, first published in his collection The Long Valley. It appears in the ledger notebook under the title "Man Hunt". The story outlines a young man, Pépé, who is sent into town by his mother. She says he is not yet a man. While he is gone, Pépé kills a man, and after his return, he is forced to flee.
Flight is a 2012 American drama film directed by Robert Zemeckis. The film stars Denzel Washington as William "Whip" Whitaker Sr., an airline pilot who miraculously crash-lands his plane after it suffers an in-flight mechanical failure, saving nearly everyone on board. Immediately following the crash, he is hailed a hero, but an investigation soon leads to questions that put the captain in a different light.
Flight was the first live-action film directed by Robert Zemeckis since Cast Away and What Lies Beneath, both released in 2000, and his first R-rated film since Used Cars in 1980. It was the second collaboration of Denzel Washington and John Goodman, who had previously worked together in the 1998 film Fallen. It was also a box office success, grossing over $161 million worldwide and received mostly positive reviews. The film was nominated twice at the 85th Academy Awards, for Best Actor (Denzel Washington) and Best Original Screenplay (John Gatins).
Airline pilot captain William "Whip" Whitaker Sr. (Washington) uses cocaine to wake up after a night of very little sleep in his Orlando hotel room. He pilots SouthJet Flight 227 to Atlanta which experiences severe turbulence at takeoff. Copilot Ken Evans (Geraghty) takes over while Whip discreetly mixes vodka in his orange juice and takes a nap. He is jolted awake as the plane goes into a steep dive. Unable to regain control, Whip is forced to make a controlled crash landing in an open field and loses consciousness on impact.
Flight is the process by which an object moves without direct support from a surface.

Apache Axis2 is a core engine for Web services. It is a complete re-design and re-write of the widely used Apache Axis SOAP stack. Implementations of Axis2 are available in Java and C.
Axis2 provides the capability to add Web services interfaces to Web applications. It can also function as a standalone server application.
A new architecture for Axis2 was introduced during the August 2004 Axis2 Summit in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The new architecture on which Axis2 is based is more flexible, efficient and configurable in comparison to Axis1.x architecture. Some well-established concepts from Axis 1.x, like handlers etc., have been preserved in the new architecture.
Apache Axis2 supports SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2, and it has integrated support for the widely popular REST style of Web services. The same business-logic implementation can offer both a WS-* style interface as well as a REST/POX style interface simultaneously.
Axis2/Java has support for Spring Framework.
Axis2/C is a high-performance Web services implementation. It has been implemented with portability and ability to be embedded or hosted in Apache Httpd, Microsoft IIS or Axis Http Server. See article about Apache Axis2/C Performance (2008). Latest release occurred on 2009 .

This is the story of Flight 19"
Lieutenant Taylor USN
(This is Flight 19)
With fourteen others meets his end
(This is Flight 19)
Now only Corporal Kosner
Has premonition so they say
He missed the mission on the day
"Corporal Alan Kosner report to the duty officer"
They're flying east to Bimini
(This is Flight 19)
North and south west then home again
This is Flight 19)
A simple tale no angles
Except Bermuda has prescribed
You find this tangle's got three sides
Up in the sky did a bird or a plane or a flying machine
Swoop on down to pluck the young blood of Flight 19
A bird or a plane or a flying machine or terrestrial things
On a day that Flight 19 really got their wings
A close encounter of a kind
(This is Flight 19)
Is what Chuck Taylor thought he'd find
(This is Flight 19)
Despatch a rescue mission
Unlucky crew numbered thirteen
Depart Miami never seen
Up in the sky did a bird or a plane or a flying machine
Swoop on down to pluck the young blood of Flight 19
A bird or a plane or a flying machine or terrestrial things
On a day that Flight 19 really got their wings
Mayday
(Taylor to Tower)
You consult the captain's log
(Tower to Taylor)
If this had happened some years later
We could have sent you Kirk and Spock
"I seem to be off course
I cannot see land
Repeat I cannot see land
Even the ocean doesn't look right
Both my compasses are out
I don't know which was west
O my God!
Up in the sky did a bird or a plane or a flying machine
Swoop on down to pluck the young blood of Flight 19
A bird or a plane or a flying machine or terrestrial things
