Blonde
Pilot
Submitted by Kevin Kuehn
(not representative of anyone in our club)
A blonde pilot decided to learn how to fly a helicopter.
He went to the airport, but the only one available was a solo
helicopter.
The instructor figured he could let him go up alone since he was
already a pilot for small planes and he could instruct him via radio.
So up the blonde pilot went. He reached 1,000 feet and everything
was going smoothly.
He reached 2,000 feet. The blonde and the instructor kept talking
via radio. Everything was going smoothly.
At 3,000 feet the helicopter suddenly came down quickly! It skimmed
the top of some trees and crash landed in the woods.
The instructor jumped in his jeep and rushed our to see if the
blonde was ok. As he reached the edge of the woods, the blonde was walking
out.
"What happened?" the Instructor asked. "All was
going so well until you reached 3,00 feet. What happened then?"
"Well," began the blonde, "I got cold, so I turned
off the ceiling fan."
