Helicopter Flight
Joke by Alpha added on October 22, 2000
A helicopter was flying around above
Seattle when an electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircraft's electronic
navigation and communications equipment. Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not
determine the
helicopter's position and course to steer to the airport.
The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, drew a handwritten sign, and held
it in the helicopter's window. The pilot's sign said "WHERE AM I?" in large
letters.
People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a large sign, and held
it in a building window. Their sign said "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER."
The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map, determined the course to steer to SEATAC
airport, and landed safely.
After they were on the ground, the copilot asked the pilot how the "YOU ARE IN A
HELICOPTER" sign helped determine their position.
The pilot responded "I knew that had to be the MICROSOFT building because they gave
me a technically correct, but completely useless answer."
