THE GOOD TIMES THREAD XN728 KEN

[xn728]

IT WAS AROUND THE END OF THE 80,S ,I WOULD VISIT THE LOCAL AIRFEILD AND WATCH THE SMALL LIGHT AIRCRAFT TAKE OFF
AND LAND ,THERE WERE HELICOPTERS THERE TO ,I REALLY ENJOYED THIS AS I WAS INTERESTED IN AVIATION ,
I HAD A SMALL MOPED AT THE TIME SO I WOULD SIT NEAR THE RUNWAY AND ENJOY THE COMINGS AND GOINGS ,
I,D BEEN QUITE A FEW TIMES AND AFTER A WHILE I WAS ON NODDING TERMS WITH SOME OF THE PILOTS THEY WERE ALWAYS
PLEASENT AND GREETED ME WITH A SMILE .ON THIS PARTICULAR DAY I HAD BEEN LOOKING AROUND A PARKED AIRCRAFT WHEN
CHAP APPEARED FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE AIRCRAFT ,HE GREETED ME WITH GOOD AFTERNOON ,HE CARRYED ON LOOKING
AROUND THE AIRCRAFT,HE WAS OBVIOUSLY INSPECTING THE AIRCRAFT PRIOR TO FLIGHT SO I WALKED AWAY SO AS NOT TO GET
IN THE WAY .THE CHAP FINISHED HIS CHECKS CLIMBED ABOARD THE AIRCRAFT AND STARTED THE ENGINE .AFTER WARMING THE
ENGINE HE TAXIED TO THE FEUL TANK WITCH WAS ONLY AROUND 15 METRES AWAY ,HE TOPPED OF THE TANKS ,WALKED ROUND THE
AIRCRAFT AGAIN PAUSED AND WALKED TOWARDS ME ,HE COMMENTED ON MY SMALL MOPED ,STATING HE,D OWNED ONE AND THEY WERE
VERY RELIABLE ,I AGREED AND SAID IT WAS HANDY TO USE TO VISIT THE AIRFEILD AS I LIVED ONLY A SHORT DISTANCE AWAY .
HE ENQUIRED WERE I LIVED ,AND ON MY REPLY ASKED IF I LIKE TO SEE IT FROM THE AIR ,HE WAS DOING A SHORT TEST FLIGHT
IN THE AIRCRAFT AND WOULD ONLY BE FLYING LOCAL .HE DID,NT HAVE TO ASK ME TWICE,WE TAXIED OUT AND TOOK OFF THE VIEWS
WERE GREAT SOMETHING YOU KNOW SO WE,LL LOOKS SO DIFFERANT FROM THE AIR ,WE FLEW OVER THE WE,LL KNOWN CASTLE NEAR MY
HOME AND ON TOWARDS HOME ,THE MINIMUM HIEGHT FOR LIGHT AIRCRAFT IS 500 FT AND THIS IS QUITE LOW ,IT WAS HARD TO
PICK OUT HOME ,BUT I SOON GOT MY BEARINGS ,IT WAS SUMMER AND I COULD SEE MY NIGHBOURS IN THERE GARDENS THEY WERE
LOOKING UP AND PIONTING ,THE BACK DOOR WAS OPEN ON MY HOME ,BUT THERE WAS NO,ONE IN THE GARDEN .WE DID A COUPLE OF
VERY TIGHT TURNS AND RETURNED TO THE AIRFEILD ,I THANKED THE PILOT VERY MUCH .HE SAID IF I WAS AROUND AGAIN HE
TAKE ME UP AGAIN ,I NEVER SAW HIM AGAIN AFTER THAT ,IT WAS A DAY I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER A GOOD DAY .
ITS A GOOD MEMORY THAT CANT BE TARNISHED OR ERASED.IM GONNA PUT MORE ON HERE SO I CAN READ THEM OFTEN ,
I,LL KEEP THEM ON THIS THREAD ,WE HAVE SO MUCH DARKNESS AND PAIN WE READ EVERYDAY I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE NICE
TO HAVE A PLACE TO KEEP MY GOOD THINGS,BUT SHARE THEM TO ,FEEL FREE,XN728 N0.1
