A WOMAN was flying from Seattle to San Francisco . Unexpectedly, the
plane was diverted to Sacramento along the way. The flight attendant
explained that there would be a delay, and if the passengers wanted to
get off the aircraft the plane would re-board in 50 minutes.

Everybody got off the plane except one lady who was blind. The man
had noticed her as he walked by and could tell the lady was blind
because her Seeing Eye dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front
of her throughout the entire flight.

He could also tell she had flown this very flight before because the
pilot approached her, and calling her by name, said, 'Kathy, we are in
Sacramento for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and stretch
your legs?' The blind lady replied, 'No thanks, but maybe Buddy would
like to stretch his legs.'

Picture this:

All the people in the gate area came to a complete standstill when
they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with a Seeing Eye
dog!

The pilot was even wearing sunglasses. People scattered. They not
only tried to change planes, but they were trying to change airlines!

In reality Piper.....We're getting to the point of not needing a pilot in the 21st Century. We jokingly used to say 'cockpit management' in the 21st Century would be a man and dog sitting in the cockpit. The mans function would be to feed the dog. The dogs job would be to bite the man if he tried touching anything in the cockpit!

UAV's (unmanned aerial vehicle) are routinely plying threw the sky's. The longest flight thus far has been from Baghdad to California. Just seen two more new generation UAV's being tested now. To think in only a 105 years since Kitty Hawk....it has come this far.

In 1783 the Montgolfier brothers invented the hot air balloon in Annonay, France. One of the first flight passengers was a pig. So, in the 21st Century flying an idiot in a lawn chair ain't so special. :roll:

Yes Virginia! Pigs do fly! :shock:



There have been a few persons flying lawn chairs. If they land unharmed, they are considered to have a very large 'set'. :roll: If they get hurt or worse, they are considered idiots. I guess there is a fine line between the two. BTW.....They carry a BB gun and shoot the balloons out one at a time to land.
