The Flying Brick

 
 
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.
