Too bad somebody did read the sign on the way to the airport.

Who would want to learn to fly after seeing that beforehand? 😳

With all the problems with Boeing planes, guess I've lost my sense of humor for flying jokes.Don't think it's funny.

I'm sure whoever owns the Flight School clearly put part of an old plane in the tree for fun. Sort of a fun way to advertise and draw in business.😂

Its probably been there for years.

Going viral

No one has publicly claimed credit for creating it, but the juxtaposed image of a crashed airplane with a sign offering flight instruction seemed to be the perfect fodder for the e-mail inboxes and blogs of Internet users everywhere, pilots and non-pilots alike. An additional, yet subtle, jab to Classic Air is that one of its airplanes is in the photo, yet the name of its airfield competitor is featured so prominently.

However, that photo is the product of some clever use of photo-editing software. The two signs do stand near the tree. However, they face the opposite direction from which the photo was taken. The image of the two signs was transposed onto the image of the airplane lodged in the tree to produce the comical image.

Nevertheless, the photo has also been published in numerous aviation publications, as an interesting snapshot that seems to strike a chord with readers everywhere.

"It is funny," said Brookham, in response to the photo.

(Brookham was the pilot who crashed the plane)

If you search the image the full story will come up, published on an aviation site.

So many small plane crashes the last few years, it seems every jamoke on the planet has a pilot license.
