His request was approved, and arrangements | were made. He was told to report to a nearby airport where | a 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 little | 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." | | "Why?" asked the pilot. "Because I am a photographer," he | responded, "and photographers make photographs." | | The pilot was silent for a moment; finally he stammered, | "You mean you're not the flight instructor?" -- /=Randal L.
