Flying High 10 Years Ago On Late Father’s Birth Anniversary - IMRAN™
I was just 7 years old, growing up in Karachi, living with my saintly maternal grandmother for the sake of better schools than where my parents were posted early in my dad’s career. When my late beloved father asked my grandmother to put me on a flight from Karachi to Lahore as an unaccompanied child, I became the first in my family to fly. It was the very end of the 1960s, and flying was an uber-luxury.
Even well-off families traveled by what was then the great PWR (Pakistan Western Railways), often choosing First Class, with ACC (Air Conditioned Coach) being a real luxury. Flying the then-great, now-an-embarrassment, Pakistan International Airlines so casually - and for a child alone - was unheard of.
My grandmother and my aunts, who also lived in our home in Karachi, were aghast, as was surely my late mother. Send a child in what was then (and sadly still is) a developing country totally unaccompanied on a 1000+ mile journey? What if… and the usual and expected concerns were raised.
My dad, who somehow always had an idea that I was confident enough at that age to handle it alone, insisted. I still remember walking on to that aircraft, wearing an orange circular “Unaccompanied Child” badge pinned to my lapel, with an “air-hostess” showing me around. And so began my now lifelong love and passion for flying—every single flight in a window seat.
I believe the first flight was in a Boeing 707C. Back then, not only was PIA great but Boeing aircraft panels did not pop off in mid-flight either as they do now.
This photo was taken at JFK prior to takeoff. This was my first and only trip to Saudi Arabia so far. It was for a 2-weeks long Microsoft client CEO strategy meetings engagement in Riyadh via Frankfurt.
I was on Lufthansa's latest Airbus, I think. That also happened to be the first foreign airline - and my first experience flying on an Airbus - that I ever flew out of Pakistan to any foreign country on, back in 1987.
What made this 2014 flight a truly sweet & sentimental coincidence was that the flight was on my late father’s birth anniversary, August 22, 2014. He had passed away six years prior to this photo. But to this day, I cherish the gift of my mom’s love and prayers, and my dad’s love, total confidence, and freedom to fly as high as I can imagine.
He gave me, as a firstborn, not only experiences he had not yet had as an adult, but that no one in our family had either.
Thank you, Dad. One day, I will fly to a place where I will get to be with you and Mom again. I would love to tell you all about the adventures you made possible for me to fly to -- even after you were both gone.
Take care of them, Almighty God, and make me worthy of having been their son, on the earth, on the sea, and in the sky. Amen.

- From that time over #10YearsAgo I spotted a humungous orbweaver spider in the garden. It's walking on its web and showing off its abdomen patterns.
