F-15 model airplane
January 21st, 2009
I practically grew up beside a military air base and each day, I woke up to the zooming sounds of airplanes flying by. I would watch as pilots did their training exercises and imagined myself flying one of those jets. When it was time to apply though, I found out that I missed the height requirement by a few inches.
For a time after that experience I took living life beside an air base for granted until we moved to another place. Whenever I would visit a museum or a toy store and see an F-15 model airplane, nostalgia would engulf my being and I’d go back to memories of my youth again. It seems like it’s never left me.
