Uh Oh!!!!! I love this one.
What a Day!
A photographer for CNN was assigned to cover southern California’s
wildfires last year. He wanted pictures of the heroic work the
firefighters were doing as they battled the blazes. When the
photographer arrived on the scene, however, the smoke was so thick
it was impossible to get good photographs from the ground level. He
requested permission from his boss to rent a plane and take photos from
the air. His request was approved and he used his cell phone to call
the local County airport to charter a flight. He was told a single
engine plane would be waiting for him at the airport.
Arriving at the airfield, he spotted a plane warming up outside a
hanger. He jumped in with his bag, slammed the door shut, and shouted,
“Let’s go”. The pilot taxied out, swung the plane into the wind and
roared down the runway. Once in the air, the photographer instructed
the pilot, “Fly over the valley and make two or three low passes so I
can take some pictures of the fires on the hillsides.”"Why?” asked the pilot.
“Because I’m a photographer for CNN,” he responded, “and I need
to get some close-up shots.”
The pilot was strangely silent for a moment, finally he stammered, “So,
what you’re telling me is….. you’re NOT my flight instructor???”
