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 hangar.
*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?' *
