Mike BrooksBlind Pilots
Two blind pilots both are wearing dark glasses, one is using a guide
dog, and the other is tapping his way along the aisle with a cane.
Nervous laughter spreads through the cabin, but the men enter the
cockpit, the door closes, and the engines start up. The passengers begin
glancing nervously around, searching for some sign that this is just a
little practical joke. None is forthcoming.
The plane moves faster and faster down the runway and the people sitting
in the window seats realize they're headed straight for the water at the edge of the
airport. As it begins to look as though the plane will plough into the
water, panicked screams fill the cabin. At that moment, the plane lifts
smoothly into the air. The passengers relax and laugh a little
sheepishly, and soon all retreat into their magazines, secure in the
knowledge that the plane is in good hands.
In the cockpit, one of the blind pilots turns to the other and says, "Ya
know, Bob, one of these days, they're gonna scream too late and we're
all gonna die."

ARTJR338WMTrue enough the screams would be a good indication to lift off, but how does that work for the enevatable landing?
