A Photographer for a national magazine was assigned to take pictures of a huge forest fire. He was advised that a small plane would be waiting to take him over the fire.
The photographer arrived at the airstrip just 1 hour before sundown. Sure enough, a small Cessna aircraft was waiting at the start of the runway. He jumped in with all his equipment and shouted "Let's go!".
The tense man sitting in the Pilot's seat swung the plane into the wind and soon they were in the air, although flying erratically.
"Fly over the north side of the fire!", instructed the photographer, "and make several low passes".
"Why?" asked the nervous pilot.
"Because I'm going to take pictures!" yelled the photographer. "I'm a photographer and photographers take pictures!"
The pilot replied "You mean you're not the flight instructor?"
