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?'

"Life is short.
Drink the good wine first"

Excellent story, thanks!
