Flying By A Journey Of Life, A Life Of Journey Flying By - IMRAN™ (Part 3)

Flying By A Journey Of Life, A Life Of Journey Flying By - IMRAN™ (Part 3)
In part 2 ( www.facebook.com/MyIMRAN/posts/427904326004485 ) I wrote about the need for speed. Even the yellow tail on one of the USAF planes was the same color combination as my Yamaha Enduro from my engineering university days. But there were other connections to both my passions and to my life story.
This was a place where warbirds, general aviation aircraft, and ground speed demons were all on display.
Even though I got rid of my father's beloved but dreadfully unreliable British car the day he had flown to USA for higher studies, the heavy-as-a-brick stainless steel Jaguar hood ornament we took off it is are still kept as a family heirloom in Pakistan.
So it was interesting to see the (I am sure) slightly faster and slightly cooler looking and surely slightly more reliable Jaguar racing cars and aircraft right where I was standing. It was even more coincidental and ironic that the green and white colors of my motherland, Pakistan, adorned the British race car and the tail of another of the planes from my adopted homeland, America.
If only there had been a Yamaha motorbike there at that time, that would have been so cool too. But kidding aside, what a joy to be able to experience all of that, in one moment, in one spot, and even more so, in one amazing lifetime.
What a blessing to experience life and all these interconnected experiences even half a century and half a globe apart. What a gift of God to have lived with more true unconditional love of family and loved ones than even a giant movie star like Tom Cruise and others ever had or could ever have.
Even as I leave the motor of life humming, ready to roar speeding to the next adventure or jumping off the deck into overdrive of adventures, I've been to, and still love thriving in.... The Danger Zone... even when everything is at a standstill.
