Now how did he do that?

Landing An Airplane With A Side Wind

Flight 1549 - The Crash and Recovery

Security video of the crash and rescue. The plane comes down on the left side of the screen at about the 2 minute mark. The first boat is there just two minutes later. What an incredibly lucky day for those passengers.

You may want to open this up for full-screen viewing. It's grainier, but easier to make out.

Sniffer

A man had just settled into his seat next to the window on the plane when another man sat down in the aisle seat and put his black Labrador Retriever in the middle seat next to the man. The first man looked very quizzically at the dog and asked why the dog was allowed on the plane.

The second man explained that he was a DEA agent and the dog was a 'sniffing dog.' 'His name is 'Sniffer' and he's the best there is. I'll show you once we get airborne, when I put him to work.'

The plane took off, and once it has leveled out, the agent said, 'Watch this.' He told 'Sniffer' to'search.'

'Sniffer' jumped down, walked along the aisle, and finally sat very purposefully next to a woman for several seconds. 'Sniffer' then returned to his seat and put one paw on the agent's arm.

The agent said, 'Good boy,' and he turned t o the man and said, 'That woman is in possession of marijuana, so I'm making a note of her seat number and the authorities will apprehend her when we land.'

'Say, that's pretty neat,' replied the first man.

Once again, the agent sent 'Sniffer' to search the aisles. The lab sniffed about, sat down beside a man for a few seconds, returned to its seat, and this time he placed two paws on the agent's arm.

The agent said, 'That man is carrying cocaine, so again, I'm making a note of his seat number for the police.'

I like it!' said his seat mate.

The agent then told 'Sniffer' to 'search' again.

'Sniffer' walked up and down the aisles for a little while, sat down for a moment, and then came racing back to the agent, jumped into the middle seat and proceeded to poop all over the place.

The first man was really grossed out by this behavior and couldn't figure out how or why a well-trained dog would behave like that, so he asked the agent , 'What's going on?'

The agent nervously replied, 'He just found a bomb"

Joke - Getting the Story

The photographer for a large national newspaper was assigned to get photos of an enormous forest fire. Smoke at the scene was too thick to get any good shots, so he frantically called his home office to hire a plane.

"It will be waiting for you at the airport!" he was assured by his editor.

As soon as he got to the small, rural airport, sure enough: a plane was warming up near the runway. The photographer jumped in with his equipment and yelled, "Let's go! Go, go, go!"

The pilot nodded and swung the plane into the wind and soon they were in the air.

"Fly over the north side of the fire," said the photographer, "and make three or four low level passes."

"Why?" asked the pilot.

"Because I'm going to take pictures! I'm a photographer, and photographers take pictures!" said the photographer with great exasperation and impatience.

"Do you mean to say," the pilot asked after a long pause, "that you're not the flight instructor?"

Not His Day To Die

Amazing.

Strange Airport

Must have been a hot day...

This is a great, funny, little video of a family on holiday near the airport.

Equipment Replacement

When the military equipment fails, remember - humans are expendable.

Joke Time

My flight was being served by an obviously gay flight attendant, who seemed to put everyone in a good mood as he served us food and drinks.As the plane prepared to descend, he came swishing down the aisle and told us that "Captain Marvey has asked me to announce that he'll be landing the big scary plane shortly, so lovely people, if you could just put your trays up, that would be super."

On his trip back up the aisle, he noticed this well-dressed and rather Arabic looking woman hadn't moved a muscle. "Perhaps you didn't hear me over those big brute engines but I asked you to raise your trazy-poo, so the main man can pitty-pat us on the ground."

She calmly turned her head and said, "In my country, I am called a Princess and I take orders from no one."

To which (I swear) the flight attendant replied, without missing a beat, "Well, sweet- cheeks, in my country I'm called a Queen, so I outrank you. Tray-up, Bitch."
