Snapping your life away
Monday, June 30, 2008
A Sky News photographer quickly used his mobile 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 Sky News,"
he responded. "And I need to get some closeup
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?"
