A photographer from a well-known national magazine was assigned to cover
the recent fires. The magazine wanted to show some of the heroic work of
the firefighters as they battled the blaze. When the photographer
arrived, he realized that the smoke was so
thick that it would seriously impede or make it impossible for him to
photograph anything from ground level.
He requested permission to rent a plane and take photos from the air.
His request was approved, and arrangements were made. He was told to
report to a nearby airport, where a single engine plane would be waiting
for him. He arrived at the airport and saw a plane warming up near the
gate. He jumped in with his bag and shouted, "Let's go!" The pilot swung
the plane into the wind, and within minutes they were in the air. The
photographer said, "Fly over the park and make two or three low passes so
I can take some pictures." Each time they made a pass and got closer,
and even when they could
feel the heat, the photographer said "one more and get closer"
Fianally when the photographer said "get down and fly in and out of the
flames" The extremely nervous pilot asked "Why?" "Because I am a
photographer for a Time Magazine," he responded,"and I need some
close-up shots."
The pilot was silent for a moment; finally he stammered, :uhoh21: "So, you're
telling me you're not the flight instructor?"

Why do I think this is something one our Residents would do?
