More from our “Flying IS fun” file…
I took my cousin for a plane ride a few years ago. After an hour, we headed back to DuPage airport. The last 10 minutes of the flight were quiet, with almost no conversation. About six miles out, I keyed the mic and opened my mouth to contact the tower, when all of a sudden my cousin shouts loudly, “HEY, LOOK, THERE’S A NAKED LADY DOWN THERE BY THE SWIMMING POOL!” My mouth was still open and the mic button was still pushed.
Short Final…
