A photographer for CNN was assigned to cover southern
California's Wildfires. 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?"
