CHIEF'S CORNER
GET EXCITED
SHARE THAT EXCITEMENT!
BY JOHN COLLINS
I REMEMBER AS A KID RUNNING OUTSIDE TO LOOK UP AND FIND THE AIRPLANE
IN THE SKY THAT I COULD HEAR FLYING OVER MY HOUSE. We didn't live under
a traffic pattern or near a major metropolitan airport, but to me hearing a
plane fly over my little patch of Western New York was cool and being able to
identify it even cooler. My mother got tired of my enthusiastic slamming the
door every time I blew through it and our dogs got as excited as I did. Later I
would watch the airport beacon light trace a path across the clouds from my
bedroom window. It wasn't until I started my flight training that I learned
I was looking at the beam from the St. Catherines/Niagara District airport,
across the river in Ontario, Canada. I also remember enjoying driving past
the Niagara Falls International airport looking at all the pretty blue lights in
the winter evenings, again only realizing that they were taxiway lights after I
started learning to fly. I was very excited about everything aviation as a kid and
it's no wonder that I looked for a college to further those dreams. Other than
some flights in airliners and Dad doing some skydiving in the Army out of Bell
Helicopters, my family wasn't really aviation oriented, but that didn't matter.
