Pilot Error ??

ALWAYS ASK, NEVER ASSUME!!


 


His request approved, the CNN photographer quickly used


a cell phone to call the local airport to charter a flight.


 


He was told a twin-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 took off.



Once in the air, the photographer instructed


the pilot, 'Fly over the valley and make low passes


so I can take 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?'

 


 "Life is short. Drink the good wine first."
