Since the list has been quiet lately, I offer the following:
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, he realized that the smoke was so thick
it would seriously impede, or even make impossible, his getting 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?"...
