Helicopter Landing

Recommended Posts

A helicopter was flying 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 up in the helicopter

window. The pilot's sign said, "Where am I?" in large

letters.

 

The people in the tall building quickly responded to

the aircraft, drew a large sign and held it to the window

of their building. Their sign read, "You are in a helicopter."

 

The pilot smiled, waved, looked at the map, determined

the course to steer to the 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, similar

to their help-lines, they gave me a technically correct

but completely useless answer!"

I'm here. What are your other two wishes?
