This FPV drone trip was a strange coincidence.

A week ago I tried to find a song used in the famous Skitzo FPV wining a freestyle competition. Yes, it was a long time ago, an old school thing. I think it will be perfect for a location I aimed to fly in LA. But I cannot find it until one day before traveling to LA as per my working schedule. It is a remix version which is why it is hard to find but I found it finally. Though there are only a few lines of lyrics, I did not care much in figuring out what the singer says.

So I arrived in LA without knowing that a friend, who is also my colleague, would be there too. We are airline pilots, expats working outside our home country. So he was there as per his schedule not knowing me being there in advance. Once we met by chance, I told him my FPV trip plan at a coastline and he wanted to join because he does not want to stay in the hotel room not really doing anything. He is going to change airlines soon, back to base at the home country, since he misses his 2 little kids so much and his family will not be moving abroad.

So we went together to the coast. Staggering cliffs divide land and sea. It is mostly composed of rocks but yet there are nice ample sandy beaches here and there. We walked along the cliff, never went down to the beach, which gave us a stunning view of the surrounding area. The community and houses along the coast are so beautiful. The weather is chill and sunny. We talked about many things.

When I was having only 2 out of 8 batteries left, He convinced me to go to a new spot nearby. We had a late lunch first before scouting at the new spot. Then I found a standing position I liked and flew the drone. When I had finished flying and packing up my stuff, he looked down to a rocky shoreline below and saw two men standing on the rocks fishing. It was that moment when he mentioned his dream when he got old. He wants to have a house near a beach in a chill weather area where he could go fishing everyday. If he got the fish he would cook the fish himself at the house. In fact, he said he would love to stay here in one of those houses along the coast.

He talked about the positive and negative points of moving back to the airlines in the home country. Though he knows he would be able to see his kids everyday but with less income. And once he had changed the job he may be unable to change to another airline, ever. It is quite a dilemma. He will get something valuable but lose something crucial too. Even though he had made up his mind, it is still hard to explain.

We also talked about our experiences and struggles in life that we cannot talk to anyone else even with our own families. Not because they are secrets but, you know, once you become a father or a husband, there are some topics, some opinions that you would better keep to yourself. On the other hand, we were just whining about things in life.

If he goes back to the other airlines then he will be flying short haul flights. Plus the airlines do not have flights to the U.S. . So he will have much less chance to visit the U.S. again. Unless he finally gets his dream house somewhere then I am wondering if he could ever come to see this coastline again. At least the place replicated his dream. And if I will see him again.

After that day, I started thinking about how to edit the drone videos I got from this trip. Thus I started listening to the lyrics carefully to figure out what the singer says. Once I found out the meaning. I was confused and almost felt like a chill down my spine. It is hard to believe but it is as if someone has written the script in advance. I suddenly realized what I have to do. Because the lyrics are…

Walking on a dream...
How could I explain?...
Talking to myself...
Will I see again?...
