| Landing Check Airplane Jokes
 Submitted by HENNE
 						I was inspecting a communications facilities in Alaska.  Since I had little experience in flying in small planes, I was nervous when we approached a landing strip in a snow-covered area.  The pilot descended to just a couple hundred feet, then gunned both engines, climbed, and circled back.  While my heart pounded, the passenger beside me seemed calm. 
 "I wonder why he didn't land," I said.
 
 "He was checking to see if the landing strip was plowed,"  the man said.
 
 As we made a second approach, I glanced out the window.  "It looks plowed to me," I commented.
 
 "No," my seat mate said.  "It hasn't been cleared for some time."
 
 "How can you tell?"  I asked.
 
 "Because," the man informed me, "I'm the guy who drives the plow."
