An old woman was flying from Melbourne to Brisbane. Unexpectedly, the plane was diverted to Sydney.

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 old lady who was blind.

A man had noticed her as he walked by and could tell the lady was blind because her Seeing Eye 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 old lady replied: ‘No thanks, but maybe Max 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 seeing eye dog.

The pilot was even wearing sunglasses.

People scattered.

They not only tried to change planes, but they were trying to change airlines.

THINGS AREN’T ALWAYS AS THEY APPEAR.
