CHAPTER CHATTER, EAA Chapter 78 11

One day, an instructor and
student are sitting in a

helicopter.

The instructor says "Take it
straight up to 100 feet and

bring it back down."

The student does it without a
problem, so the instructor tells

him to "Take it up to 200 feet
and back down."

Again the student's performance

is flawless.

Then the instructor gets out of
the copter and tells the student

that his first solo is to take it up
to 300 feet and land it by

himself.

The student takes off and gets
up to about 300 feet then

suddenly comes crashing down.

The instructor runs up to the
wreckage and says "You were

doing so good...what
happened!?"

The student replies "Well I got

up to about 290 feet, but it
got so cold up there I figured

I would turn the big fan off!"
