making things real....

http://tinyurl.com/djhjmj

so... he sent me this link... this morning... 

my first reaction.. i was fascinated... almost thrilled... that ANY1 cud fly... i mean since 3 months i've been talking about going and sky-diving... and here.. this guy could get into a DOG-FIGHT instead? 

who's cooler now? yada.. yada.. you get on with life.. stop feeling jealous.. abt how the promised land.. is still marketing itself so much better.. and reaping the benefits.. another gentle reminder of how much the packaging really is... worth!

anyway... then i got thinking.. what is the real beauty of doing this.. anyway.. once i do.. move beyond the obvious joy of being a pilot without being one... 

so... step 1... the army generates revenues... whatever they may be... say.. this costs 1400$.. that's not exactly short-change.. even if it'll only be a .??% of the flight cost... but even if it pays for one wash... that's a little less.. the tax payers pay?

step 2... the people feel closer to the army..  army seems more of a reality.. where actual ppl go.. and face honest hardships.. and it isn't just a set of scams.. .from bofors to coffins! suddenly.. you feel good or bad for these ppl cos u related a tad more?

step 3... the general interest and excitement it develops in these fence-sitting individuals... about joining the army... and serving their nation!

now if only... our country thgt of such things... or promoted them in the right light?
wouldn't we be... proud indians fighting fake-battles for our country!
