Subject: Could be trouble
His request approved, the CNN News
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 Cable News,'
He responded.
'And I need to get some close up shots.'
The pilot was strangely silent for a moment, finally he stammered,
'What you're telling me, is . . .
You're not my
flight
instructor?'
