Contents (from the Introduction): The movie Back to the Future, about the time-traveling Marty McFly makes a great "...framework for a 'Sight' speech, which focuses on events taking place over a broad timespan. The movie is also a good metaphor for the history and evolution of air cargo. Certainly, the future of air cargo is built on its past. And, like Marty, we must use the past to ensure our own successful future."
