Sunrise May 2000
Linden Airport, Linden, New Jersey
"There's never one sunrise the same, or one sunset the same"
~Carlos Santana~
There is nothing like working overnights,
Especially when you work ten hour shifts.
I can remember moving helicopters outside
And watching the sun come up in the distant.
The air temperature changing
The sound of the world around you waking up.
It was a moment I loved to enjoyed.
Working overnights was never an issue for me.
I had an amazing group to work with,
We joked around and worked hard.
I was doing something I loved,
And every clear morning I got to see this.
I loved working that shift.
Four days a week ten hour days.
Turning wrenches,
Joking with friends,
And dancing to Spanish music,
On top of a helicopter!
I don't miss that time in my life,
But it is one of the best memories I have.
