Highflyer!!!

I ve always believed that the best part of air travel is the TAKE OFF .
I really enjoy the speeding of aircraft on the runway and the lift in the air.

I was quite young; and they say childhood images are the sharpest; when I had my first encounter with airplanes. And the affair has stayed since.
To a small girl (barely upto my dad's knees) I guess I found a Boeing 747 - GIGANTIC. And I was so enthralled just to see and get into one.
Even today the feeling pops up its head every time I get into one of these flying machines. What a pity domestic flights don't fly 747s.

Height and Speed - aeroplanes have the deadly combination.

Falling of WTC towers was a personal loss to me. And for a long time my dad won't let me drive a car coz he believed me incapable of putting a light foot on the accelerator.
Of the many things I wanted to be as a child, being an astronaut was one that stayed longest.

So do you see a pattern here?
