Joke ::Funny...First Heard in the Filmore Administration::A professional photographer was assigned to cover
.....the wildfires that were raging in a national park. His editor told him to try to get some closeups of the fire fighters that were battling the wildfires.
When he got to the forest the photographer realized the thick smoke would make it impossible for him to get any decent shots. He decided to rent a plane and do some aerial photography. He got permission from his editor and was told to report to a nearby airport where a small aircraft would be on the tarmac waiting for him. Upon his arrival at the airport he saw a plane warming up, so he jumped in with his bag of equipment and said "Let's go!" In no time at all, the pilot was taxiing down the runway, and the plane headed into the sky.
"What I'd like you to do," said the photographer to the pilot, "is fly over the park where the wildfire is and get as close to the ground as you can and make a few low passes so I can take some photos."
"Why?" asks the pilot. "Isn't it obvious?" said the man, "I'm a photographer, and photographers take photos."
The pilot was completely silent for a moment. Finally he stammered “You mean you're not the flight instructor?"
