One day at a busy airport, the passengers on a commercial airliner are seated waiting for the pilot to show up so they can get under way.
The pilot and copilot finally appear in the rear of the plane and begin walking up to the cockpit through the center aisle. Both appear to be blind; the pilot is using a white cane, bumping into passengers right and left as he stumbles down the aisle. The copilot is using a guide dog. Both have their eyes covered with sunglasses.
At first, the passengers do not react thinking that it must be some sort of practical joke. After a few minutes though, the engines start revving, and the airplane begins moving down the runway.
The passengers look at each other with some uneasiness. They start whispering among themselves and look desperately to the stewardesses for reassurance.
Yet, the plane starts accelerating rapidly, and people begin panicking. Some passengers are praying, and as the plane gets closer and closer to the end of the runway, the voices are becoming more and more hysterical.
When the plane has less than twenty feet of runway left, there is a sudden change in the pitch of the shouts as everyone screams at once. At the very last moment, the plane lifts off and is airborne.
Up in the cockpit, the copilot breathes a sigh of relief and tells the pilot: "You know, one of these days the passengers aren't going to scream, and we aren't going to know when to take off!"

The first time I ever flew, the pilot came out and we all walked across to the little biplane which held eight passengers.The pilot was only about five feet tall and I was a bit worried until he reassured me that he had flown bombers during the war and always got home safely.We had a wonderful flight to France.

Suzie:
I worked about 13 years in the aircraft industry and for the last few I was involved in accident investigation. I have heard, literally hundreds of these type of jokes, this one is new to me and I really enjoyed it.
Pilots really are a crazy lot. I have been told the only difference between a pilot and God is that God doesn't think he's a pilot.
Keep 'em coming, I'm always ready for a chuckle.

I have never flown anywhere and after this one I know I won't get on a plane ever. This kind of question would be just how it would be for me. This was a really good one. Have a Star.

I have flown with crew members almost that bad, they had more trouble landing, more like bouncing down the run way. LOL

UH, do you think that is the reason they invented auto-pilot.
I will have to tell this one to my son, who is a flight attendent, although he probably has heard them all already.
