FRANK THE AVIATOR

Once upon a time there was a child, who was very fond of the world of aviation and especially airplanes. His first plane was a paper one which he learned to do in his school, since that day his dreams were full of imagination all about a magical world of airplanes.

FRANK was the youngest of all his four brothers, he was the happiest in the world with his paper planes since he never had the necessary resources to buy a plane to him. Unlike all the children of the village Frank was always very clear and focused on his goals to achieve in the future.

His parents always encouraged him to follow his dreams despite his economic position which was very low and he was taught never to give up. Frank always had in his memory the phrase of his parent’s ¨if it closes a door, on the other side he opens two¨. When he turned 16 he already knew he wanted to be when he grew up, it was very easy to be a pilot to feel freedom flying over the sky. It was a profession to be able to know the whole world from corner to corner. But there was a problem he did not have the necessary resources to enter an aviation school, so he decided to apply for a scholarship, two years later he did it, but he had to undergo tests in order to receive the scholarship.

 Now Frank came to the tests to be able to assign the scholarship, he was nervous and excited, but he had prepared himself very well for the test that has been waiting for four years. At the end of the test Frank became anxious to receive the results, waited 15 days until the results, in the end he was approved and could fulfill his dreams of flying.

Frank studied for 5 years in the aviation school, his first flight was only made a month after entering school, his flight skills led him to be a test pilot of last generation aircraft. His first job was in the company AIRBUS, once there he met the plane Tikal an inexperienced plane which had not made yet his first flight.

Tikal was a very nice plane, with wings and big engines, which allowed it to reach great speeds. However, I was afraid to fly, despite being equipped with the latest technology.

One day Frank told Tikal: Tikal you want me to be the one who directs you on your first flight? Tikal did not know how to tell him that he was afraid of flying so he said: Well, I would like it but it will have to be another day.

The pilot had never received a negative response before, so I ask him: why could not it be today? , just at that moment the inexperienced plane got the pressure of the oil, because Tikal was ashamed to find out that he was afraid to fly and they would laugh at him. So with the wings down he said: Is that......... I'm scared ...... to ... fly?

Then the experienced pilot, climbed into the cockpit of the plane without Tikal's permission, buckled his belt. Feeling the need to help Tikal lose his fear of flying and make a normal plane told him: Tikal, trust in you and your flying skills like no other plane. I just need you to trust your possibilities and I will guide you on your first flight.

You are ready? He ask the pilot. Tikal had felt the confidence that the pilot had in him, so he safely ignited his engines and said: Here we go captain.

The plane was surprised at the way he could fly but had not realized its hidden potential that its creators had given him. From this day on, Tikal wanted to fly through the corners of the world with several lights but with which he felt more comfortable and safe with Fran k the young pilot.

The pilot Frank with his plane decided to make a trip to an unknown island in his attempt to arrive they were dragged by a sandstorm of sand. The last thing he said when communicating with the control tower was: HELP, HELP, the sandstorm takes us to space.....

After this the communication was cut, since that tragic day on December 12, 2012, every year a spectrum of his plane in the sky is visualized as a leaking star, those who have seen it pass say that the one who sees it has good luck.

From that day Frank and Tikal traveled the world, Frank overcame his economic problems and managed to get to be a pilot with a great effort in his studies, this profession took him later to help Tikal overcome his fear of flying, so the two can travel the world.
