Private Obsession | Military Equipments | A Collector or An Aspirant
In order to escape from the reality I'm caught up with, I desperately need to indulge in my fantasies of intergalactic exploration, dissecting machines and military personnel reenactment.
Perhaps, in this incarnation, I cannot become a fighter jet pilot. I wish I could. But, I would like to certainly wear this Bremont's military edition watch exclusive for Boeing's F15_Eagle pilots. It means that I need to become a fighter pilot.

Military Wishlist:
In order to escape from the reality I'm caught up with, I desperately need to indulge in my fantasies of intergalactic exploration, dissecting machines and military personnel reenactment.
Anything to do with military fascinates me. Therefore, I try to reenact military personnel in my reality. One of the materials, which fuel my obsession is what they wear and use. Military aviation is among them. I cannot be a fighter pilot by profession anymore, but I can be in my imagination.

What I get fascinated about is something profound, expensive, and niche. While I'm unable to lead a greater than life in the reality you exist, I do lead in the reality I exist. In this context, I desire to collect artefacts especially the military gears. Therefore, I would like to stock the fighter jets and the bombers of the second world war and the cold war ear at my backyard. No matter how much resources I may have, it wouldn't be sufficient to fuel my fantasies.
Yet another machine that I desire to park at my backyard.
I make sure that I'm not surrounded by ordinary people with ordinary interests.
My interests have never been ordinary.
Therefore, the ordinary may leave me.
My bird F14 TomCat was built for speed; built for firepower; built for Maverick (TopGun)
A bird i would like to park in my backyard. And, play with it when I get bored.
The following birds from the second world war would be parked in my backyard soon. And, i would fly these fighter birds to kill my boredom in the reality you exist.

As a part of my private obsession of collecting military equipments, i collected a model of Northrop Grumman's B2 Spirit a couple of years ago, which was reportedly used by US Air Force to bomb Iran's nuclear facility. Wish i could park a B2 Spirit in my garage along with other birds and tanks.

Arguably, Nazi German engineers were ahead of Allied forces in terms of military aviation and certain military equipments. They created everything big and powerful but were in limited numbers and deployed in the theatre of war towards the end of second world war - one of the possible reasons why Nazi Germany lost war. This is my interpretation of the history and i could be wrong.
I have admired the Luftwaffe's Arada AR 234 bomber for its sheer size and manoeuvrability - world's first jet powered bomber with speeds of 700 miles per hour faster than the fighter jets of allied fighters.
I aspire to park this bird at my garage.
I don't embrace Nazism nor do i endorse any ideology. This is shared for educational and historical purposes.
