A commercial airline jet was sitting at the airport waiting for the pilot and co-pilot to arrive. Just as the passengers started to really get restless, the airline announced that the pilot and co-pilot had just gotten in and were on their way over.

The pair came in through the rear door and started making their way up through the plane. The passengers began whispering amongst each other when it became obvious that the pilot and co-pilot appeared blind. Both of them were making their way toward the cockpit, tapping their red and white sticks against anything in their path. The co-pilot even had a seeing eye dog pulling him along the aisles.

After they sat down in the cockpit, the passengers exchanged a few nervous laughs and thin jokes about the safety of the flight. The engines revved up and the plane began taxiing over to the runway. At this point, a few passengers were craning their necks trying to look into the cockpit to see what the pilots were doing. When the aircraft approached the runway, the engines grew louder and louder and the plane started rolling going faster and faster down the runway. While the plane was obviously exceeding take-off speed, the plane continued on the ground, racing down the runway.

The passengers started getting frantic as they sensed something seriously wrong. As the end of the runway was quickly approaching, the passengers began yelling and screaming frantically. Just then, as it seemed they were going to crash, the plane suddenly lifted off and began its ascent.

After the plane was at a safe altitude, the co-pilot turned his head toward the pilot and said, "You know, one of these days they aren't going to scream, and then how are we going to know?"
