A photographer for a national magazine was assigned
to take pictures of a great forest fire. He was advised
that a small plane would be waiting to fly him over the
fire. The photographer arrived at the airstrip just an
hour before sundown. Sure enough, a small Cessna
airplane was waiting. He jumped in with his equipment
and shouted, "Let's go!"

The tense man sitting in the pilot's seat swung the
plane into the wind and soon they were in the air,
though flying erratically. "Fly over the north side of
the fire," said the photographer, "and make several
low level passes."

"Why?" asked the nervous pilot.

"Because I'm going to take pictures!" yelled the
photographer. "I'm a photographer, and photographers
take pictures." The pilot replied, "You mean you're not
the flight instructor?"

Where's Shaun when he's needed? :jaw:

I thought he was the pilot! I can picture him intentionally doing that to a passenger though.

There's a true story about a guy who bought a Cessna and started taking flight instruction at the local FBO. He got to taking with another guy and they took the Cessna up for a ride. It wasn't until they were coming back to the airport to land that they figured out that they were both pre-solo students, each thinking he was going up with a private certificate holder. They walked away from the wrecked Cessna.
