Sorry this is now "claimed" to be recent and "new" but I heard YEARS and Years ago about a commuter flight up the coast of California:
STILL FUNNY !!


Subject: The Pilot and Buddy

A WOMAN was flying from Melbourne to Brisbane.
Unexpectedly, the plane was diverted to Sydney
along the way. The flight attendant explained that
there would be a delay, and if the passengers wanted
to get off the aircraft the plane would re-board in 50 minutes.
Everybody got off the plane except one lady who was blind.
A man had noticed her as he walked by and could tell the lady was blind because her Guide Dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of her throughout the entire flight.
He could also tell she had flown this very flight before because the pilot approached her, and calling her by name, said, 'Kathy, we are in Sydney for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?' The blind lady replied, 'No thanks, but maybe Buddy would like to stretch his legs.'

Picture this:

All the people in the gate area came to a complete standstill when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with a Guide dog! The pilot was even wearing sunglasses.
People scattered..
They not only tried to change planes, but they were trying to change airlines!
True story... Have a great day and remember...

THINGS AREN'T ALWAYS AS THEY APPEAR.
 
These days, as long as he's not drunk or asleep I'd prefer a blind pilot to plenty of others...

I once did that, a good friend of mine Bob Taylor who was blind got a new extendable walking stick with the red tip on the end and gave it to me as a joke. So a few weeks later I wheeled in to a truck stop with a load that was 16 feet wide and 60 feet long after backing in to a parking spot near the entrance I casually walked in to get a bite to eat and the looks and comments I got were priceless to say the least. I just told everyone that asked that I did not need perfect eyesight as I had front and rear escorts to guide me.
