Slow Down!!!

A photographer for a national American magazine was assigned to get photos of
a great forest fire. Smoke at the scene was too thick to get any good shots, so he
frantically called his home office to hire a plane.

"It will be waiting for you at the airport!" he was assured by his editor. As soon
as he got to the small, rural airport, sure enough, a plane was warming up near
the runway. He jumped in with his equipment and yelled, "Let's go! Let's go!" The
pilot swung the plane into the wind and soon they were in the air.

"Fly over the north side of the fire," said the photographer, "and make three or
four low level passes."

"Why?" asked the pilot. "Because I'm going to take pictures! I'm a photographer,
and photographers take pictures!" said the photographer with great
exasperation. After a long pause the pilot said, "You mean you're not the
instructor?"

I was told this was a true story?
