The photographer for a national 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 and impatience.

After a long pause the pilot said, "You mean you're
not the instructor?"
