ALWAYS ASK, NEVER ASSUME !!


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' , 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?'

:spit::lol88: the look on his face would be priceless

:jump:

The student pilot would already have his Private or Commercial Single-Engine Certificate, ground training and possible flight simulator before ever taking a seat in that Multi engine plane. The student would of already been in direct contact with his flight instructor for the pre-flight checklist prior to any takeoff procedure being initiated.
Good story but false. :td:
