By Tomorrow Where Will You Be Landing Flight 0516

20"x26", oil on canvas

I was wondering what would be like to fly in old days without inflight dining and entertainment. My guess is still so exciting just being in the air, it was an adventure! This painting reminded me my very first time flight to the US, first time abroad of course. As soon as Pan Am 747 took off from Haneda airport Japan, all of a sudden it dawned on me....What have I done! My fear reached all time high. All alone by my self and top of all I had no idea what would I find out when I reached San Francisco in the morning. Under the wing, to my surprise, I was mesmerized by this long stretch of golden landscape glowing in the morning sun. Fortunately indeed my curiosity took over my fear and worry. I have no regrets that I had my very first flight.
