Loving Airplanes - The joy of being an airplane-crazy-freak...:D

Where do I start?!

Where do I end?!

Airplanes, Airplanes....and more Airplanes, is all I want to see and fly in my life....:D

Well, There are certain common *thingies* for an aspiring pilot.

Watching airplanes take off and land (standing near the wall of an airport or airfield), going like "aawww....woowwww" on seeing an aircraft, nearly fainting in joy on seeing a flight deck, and dreaming every minute....i guess these are sume of the attributes of a passionate aspiring pilot, or rather, the experiences which every person who loves airplanes, goes through.....:D

Its sumething inevitable that happens, when people actually get to know about how crazy you are about airplanes - When they go like "This is not called 'passion' - this is called going insane - there should be a limit for everything you do. Is there no limit to your lunacy with regard to planes?? Everyone thinks you are wierd..!!!" and we are like " Thanks for the compliments mate!!! :D:D:D ".

I guess one thing that most pilots at least a lot of the ones whom I know, have faced is this. The stupid problem with most people is that they dunno a shit about airplanes or aviation or flight decks, and they go on yappin about airplanes and aviation and flight decks...! Funny!!! And sumetimes, ( correction, most times), you come across fools, who say " Why do u need to study to fly...? If a person wants to drive a truck, he just has to learn to drive and then get a license. Then why are u studying so much? ". And yupp, all the aspiring/future/present pilots, have had to face these fools at some point of time in their lives...!! And guess what, the thing is, that we dunt know what to say to those fools who say such things. In telugu, they say "Navvalo Edavalo Teliyadu" - lol - which literally means, " After listening to this, i dunno wether to laugh or to cry"....lol.....What CAN you do with such people.....On one side, its dumbos saying crap, and on the other side, its airplane-crazy maniacs who are "Fida" over airplanes....What can you expect, but these kind of situations...:D

The thing is, all aspiring pilots (the ones who really really really want to fly) are dreamers. U touch them, and all that comes out is "Airplane". U talk to them, and all they want to talk about, is "airplanes". You go to their rooms, its airplanes (miniatures and posters and pic..! ). Look at their computer, its full of airplane pics. Look at their books, there's things like "A340" or "777" or names like "Airbus" or "Boeing". Look at their anything, and all u find is stuff related to "Airplanes". You talk to them, and they compare everything to airplanes....("This thing is as kewl a 777's look...:D / Nuthing can beat the joy of flying an A340").

For them, Life is Simple. Eat, Sleep, Fly. And if u ask them about this attribute, they go like "What else do I need?".

Lol. Are aspiring pilots soooo crazy?!!? So lunatic to the core?!! So airplane-infested that they have no other world to dream in?!!

Well, the answer is not a choice. Its Inevitability. There's nothing they can do about these things. These are not things they cultivated. They came on their own.

Pilots and aspiring pilots by nature, are CRAZY.

But on the other hand, lets talk about the polished side of these guys.

They are masters in their areas of interest - (airplanes...:D ). They are ever learning, and ever joyful. They open sume book to do with planes at 8 in the evening today, and they dunt get up till 8 in the evening the next day. They have the inbuilt capacity to stare and stare and stare and stare and stare at their models (airplane miniatures) and posters (flight decks and exteriors) for hours and hours. People can go mad in the presence of these people u know!

They have a flair for mastery over sleep - If u tell them, I will take u to distance of 100 metres from an A320 or an A330, they will raise up like Zombies who nightwalk. You say it at midnight, and up they rise, like its sume magic spell...!!

They are capable of withstanding any weather - sweltering heat, humid weather, rain, snow, anything! All they wanna see is airplanes and all they wanna do is think about airplanes...:D.
Let the weather be anything, they dunt care.

Well, well, People who are THIS mad in life, ought to be really really crazy eh!

Lol. Thats what we all are....:D

Now, hold on for a second. I guess many people in this world have mobile phones. But the thing with these airplane-crazy-lunatics is, that even in their mobile numbers, they want sumething to do with airplanes.

Wait a sec...how are these guys gonna have sumething to do with airplanes in a mobile number?!
Guess.

Its simple - the number will contain the name of sume aircraft....Eg.: It ends with sumething like 00747 or 00787 or 00340. This is teh actual number of a pilot i know. That pilot flies a 747-400. And guess what, the last six digits of his number are "747400". :D

Crazy!!!!! :D

Lol. thats what we all are. What else could we ask for...?! :D

Eeeeeee!!!! There's just so many thingies to write about, and such little time...

Will get back to you for sure folks....Keep coming...:D

Real nice, real passionate. My number ends with a 787, and I am as crazy, if not crazier that what you have portrayed yourself to be!

The best part is, if the whole world deserts us maniacs, we are there for each other!

Blue Skies!
