My First Flight

When I was a child I get very excited whenever I see an aircraft fly in the sky. 

High above it flew leaving behind a contrail ........I would wondered where it was heading.

Even today I get excited seeing an aircraft fly but not as the same excitement as my childhood.

May be age has taken away the excitement..................

I am sure even today every child is excited to see an aircraft fly high above in the sky.

Like every child I would wondered how it flies and used to say to my little friends that I wished I could fly in an aircraft one day.

But I couldn't get the opportunity to fly in my dream aircraft.

I grew up to become an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME)..............still always wanted to fly in an aircraft .......... but still didn't manage to fly in one.

Then I got a job in Bangalore in Safran Engineering Services India (formerly known as Safran Aerospace India).

After serving the company for almost five years I got an opportunity to go to France for project co-ordination.

Then on 8th May 2011 for the first time I boarded an Ethihad airways A320-200 (flight EY 287) from Bangalore to Abu Dhabi fulfilling one of my little childhood dreams.  

I boarded Ethihad A330-200 (flight EY-37) from Abu Dhabi to Paris CDG.

I was then 26 yrs old when I boarded an aircraft for the first time. 

It is always sweet to fulfill your childhood dream.

Some may say why wait for so long . . . . .. .... but I would say everything has its own purpose

Some may say it's funny.........and I would say yes and this is the fact !!!
