Boy looking out window story
 
I recently saw a piece on the internet that told the story of little Johnnie. His teacher caught him staring out the window and told him he'd never find a job looking out the window when he grew up. Just below that was a picture of a cockpit and windows looking over the shoulders of two pilots. The caption was something like "Guess Johnnie showed Mrs. Crabapple".

I am trying to locate a copy of that web post. Google searches are getting me nowhere. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Headmaster - 'Why are you gazing out the window'.
Me - 'Looking at an aircraft, Sir…'
Headmaster - 'You are not going to get anywhere gazing out the window at aircraft'
Report - 'Distraction and the love of it renders this pupil impossible to educate'.
Me - ATCO for 47 years, and counting. It's paid the mortgage and raised three U/Ts...

Report comment from Spanish teacher: "if aircraft had Spanish verbs painted on the side, then John would become fluent"

Now into my 49th year of licenced flying and never needed to know anything about speaking Spanish :p

There was always the boy who told his dad that when he grew up he wanted to be a fighter pilot. "Well make your mind up" said his Dad....hat, coat............
