His request approved, the Fox 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

Arriving at the airfield, he spotted a plane warming up
outside a hanger. He jumped in with his bag, slammed
the Door shut, and shouted, 'Let's go.'

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 Fox Cable News,' 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?
