The passengers on the long distance flight to Los Angeles were settling into their seats, getting ready for the 8 hour trip when suddenly they heard this tapping noise increasing in sound. To their horror, two men, in pilot's uniforms, wandered up the aisle with white sticks and dark glasses.
The passengers continued to look on in sheer disbelief as the two men eventually made it to the top of the aisle and wandered into the cockpit.
Shortly after, the usual announcement came over the tannoy, "This is your captain speaking. We hope you enjoy your flight etc." But fear and trepidation filled the aircraft as flight departure time grew ever nearer.
Eventually, the engines started up, the plane began to taxi and headed towards its departure lane. As the plane cruised down the runway, the passengers' nerves increased ten-fold - what was going to happen. The plane accelerated faster and faster - down the runway it sped; the passengers couldn't take it anymore. They started crying and screaming - panic filled the plane - their shrieks and gasps of total terror grew louder and louder. It looked like the plane was running out of airstrip when suddenly, just at the very edge of the runway, just as they were about to crash, she took off. The passengers cheered for joy, applauded and shook hands with each other, breathed hugh collective sighs of relief and eventually, eventually, they felt they could sit back to relax and enjoy their flight.
Meanwhile, in the cockpit, the co-pilot turned to the pilot and congratulated him on the take-off. "You know, captain, one of these days, the passengers are just going to scream too late".
