Photos Taken By An Airline Captain That Will Blow Your Mind
You have to admit that flying is one of the most awesome experiences you can ever have. Putting aside the airplane food and sometimes rude flight staff, flying is fun, and then there are times when it’s plain hilarious! We are SO thrilled that someone happened to have a camera on these flights. Whether it’s passengers or flight attendants, nobody would ever believe that these things happened had they never been captured on camera.
I’ll never forget the first time I went on a flight. I was just 8 years old and we heading out of the country. Yeah, I was young, excited and full of energy. But those who had to endure the flight with my questions and stories might have thought that a not-so-positive thing. In truth, they actually seemed to have enjoyed my company as much as I enjoyed theirs. My parents, sitting five rows behind, might have worried otherwise.
My first flight was not long after the movie, Home Alone, came out. Every kid wanted a Talk Boy – that nifty tape recorder that looked like a video camera. I was thrilled when the flight attendant agreed to give me a personal message over the plane’s intercom. “We’d like to wish a special little passenger, Aaron, a fun flight.” Everybody laughed since they already knew who I was; I had basically introduced myself, and pointed out every family member, to every other passenger on our flight to New York.
I doubt anyone recorded that moment. Nowadays there would have been at least ten smartphones pointed way. But that was a different time.
Flying is something that you either love or hate, or something like that. For those that have a fear of flying, nothing says, “You’re about to die!” more than some turbulence. And that’s not to say what it does to the stomachs of every passenger on board the flight. But we’re not hear to talk about freaking out on a flight. Instead we’re about to take a look at the most hilarious photos ever taken on airplanes. Some of these seem too unreal, but pictures speak louder than words… or something like that, Sit back, fasten your seatbelt, and prepare yourself for a fit of laughter. Ladies and gentlemen, here we go!
What The Duck?
Yup, kicking off this list is clearly a duck. Wearing booties. On a plane. We know what you’re thinking here too – one, AWWWWWW. Two, how in the world did that duck get on board this flight? And finally, where’d he buy those booties and then how did he put them on?
What The Duck?
Woof
Sometimes you find yourself seated next to a person who wants to tell you their entire life story and they don’t care if all you want to do is sleep. But if this was the passenger then we’re pretty sure it wouldn’t be SO bad.
Woof
This Is Your Pilot Woofing
Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you dream too big because you can grow up to be whatever you want to be. He clearly went to through proper schooling and not just an online university to get his pilot license. Atta boy!
This Is Your Pilot Woofing
All The Rage
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas but what happens on board a plane…well, that’s a different matter all-together.
All The Rage
This Is Troubling
Just when you think you had the worst flight possible, you see something like this and boom! You know your experience probably pales in comparison.
This Is Troubling
Whoops
I’d rather talk about the best weight loss program available, heck any weight loss avenue, instead of what I’m seeing here.
Whoops
Kat Nap
Even pilots need a nap, he probably just crushed his weight loss plan or maybe, just maybe, he’s posing here. Either way, classy.
Kat Nap
Most Comfortable Man In The World
Whoever said flying was torture clearly hasn’t gotten their hands on this bad boy. While we’re not speaking from experience, what we can say is that no one who is sleeping that deeply is anything but comfortable.
Most Comfortable Man In The World
EPIC
There’s so much YAS in this tweet that I’m literally convinced nothing could ever top this photo.
EPIC
Panda Love
It’s not just the fact that there’s a panda on this flight, it’s also the fact that he’s holding bamboo in his wittle hands! And he’s got a see-through plastic baggie on his lap to help scoop up all the crumbs with.
Panda Love
Penguin Time
Dogs, ducks, pandas, and now penguins?! Don’t ever tell me how we can’t bring a water bottle on board a flight ever again.
Penguin Time
Typical
Back when people actually used to read newspapers (in print and not online!) and well before computers and-or laptops even existed. Times were so different.
Typical
Hopping Around
If this person never snapped this photo, I would have called him or her a liar. Kangaroos don’t fly on planes but upon seeing this, I clearly would have been very, very wrong.
Hopping Around
Comfy As Can Be
Planes, trains, automobiles, the privacy of your own home, park benches, whatever – your kids just don’t care. They sit where they wanna sit.
Comfy As Can Be
Flying Done Right
Photography 101: toys always help to enhance, or offer a new perspective, on what may be considered a bland, boring photo opportunity. Just take your cue from this guy.
Flying Done Right
Gobble Gobble
What’s next? Camels or maybe grizzly bears or how about a giraffe? Seems like anyone can afford and fly on a plane these days!
Gobble Gobble
Nemo
Could be worse – the lady next to you could be doing some yoga for her weight loss plan journey.
Nemo
Sock Holder
What in the world are we looking at here? First of all, the sarcasm is strong with this one. Secondly, this is just nasty!
Sock Holder
So Much Cuteness
Hehe, he’s off on a doggie vacation to see all his friends and family! That’s what I’d like to believe anyways.
So Much Cuteness
Oh.
You think that best weight loss program you’re on could ever be worse seeing this on board a flight? Didn’t think so.
Oh.
Target
Looks to me like the Target doggie is on his way to his next photo shoot! Think doggie models also have to deal with a strict weight loss plan? NAH.
Target
Katy Perry Approved
Perhaps this is how Katy Perry was inspired to write the song ‘Firework’, it’s plausible.
Katy Perry Approved
For Real
There’s the battle for the arm rest and leg room and asking people to move when you gotta go pee but never have I seen someone throw their hair up and block someone’s television. The nerve.
For Real
May The Odds Be Ever In Your Favor
He has probably been rockin’ this look since well before the Hunger Games ever hit the big screen.
May The Odds Be Ever In Your Favor
Nap Cab Or Something Like That
If I really committed to a proper weight loss plan maybe I could also squeeze myself up in the overhead compartment. Could save me tons of money too.
Nap Cab Or Something Like That
Music Is Life
As you’ve seen, it can be much worse than a guy jammin’ on his keyboard on board a flight. Let’s just hope the sound wasn’t on so that everyone was spared the headache.
Music Is Life
No Comment
There’s being comfortable and then there’s being comfortable. But hey, then there’s also manners you show in public and this person clearly forgot about that one.
No Comment
Well Then
Oh goody, another one. If it were me, I’d act like a drill sergeant and just destroy this person with a brutal weight loss plan to compensate for their rudeness.
Well Then
Free Ride
Thanks but no thanks. Shame reception doesn’t work when you’re flying around because I’d be calling an exterminator as soon as possible.
Free Ride
Smooth
Not that’s just an unfortunate coincidence so here’s to hoping things didn’t get…awkward. It’s bad enough seeing your ex out in public but to be trapped next to them while on a plane just seems a bit too much.
Smooth
You Tell ‘Em Kid
Kids always tell the truth and well, pretty sure this kid is being as honest its going to get. Furthermore, how rude! Not the kid, the guy with the smelly feet.
You Tell ‘Em Kid
Loner
Can’t decide if the best news ever or the greatest news ever?! Leg room galore, no need to wait in line to use the bathroom, no screaming kids, nothing but sheer happiness. This must be what it’s like to fly on a private jet like Leonardo DiCaprio.
Loner
Oink
Why does it look like this pig just put the book he was reading down…next to his can of soda? Does anyone see this?! #mindblown
Oink
Besties
Babies are more than just cute, loud-mouthed little adults, they’re also smart. Like this kid, who clearly developed a crush on “the girl next door.”
Besties
Calling All ‘Lost’ Fans
If you’ve never seen the television series Lost then you’ll never understand why this is h*i*l*a*r*i*o*u*s. All we’ll say is the guy he’s sitting next to, on the show he’s in a plane crash and the rest is history.
Calling All Lost Fans
Monster
Perhaps it was laziness that stopped this person from watching the show on his i-Pad the CORRECT way. Fingers crossed that’s all it was otherwise, human-kind is doomed.
Monster
Photobomb Much?
Whoa, talk about a photobomb. Guess this flight attendant got tired of telling people to turn off their electric devices so that they could take off already.
Photobomb Much
Achieve Your Dreams
Look, ma! No hands! My heart is filled with so much love and happiness right now, this little doggie is leading such a wonderful life. Ahh, so beautiful.
Achieve Your Dreams
Pizza, Pizza!
Say bye-bye to your weight loss plan if you find yourself stuck on a plane that’s been delayed countless times and the crew brings in boxes upon boxes of pizza. We recommend checking out a new best weight loss program after this.
Pizza Pizza
Burger Is Safe Tho
While we can’t personally translate for you what that Twitter message says, we can assume it has something to do with what’s happening in the photo. A citizen following the flight attendant’s rules – we know, mind blowing.
Burger Is Safe Tho
Worlds Happiest Dog
Look at his wittle smile!! He’s SO happy, it’s infectious cause I’m literally grinning like a fool right now. CHEESE.
Worlds Happiest Dog
Cuuuuute
**Cuteness Overload** about to smother me with ooey-gooey emotions of cuddles and rainbows in three-two-one! D-aww!
Cuuuuute
Big Time
What? You act as though you’ve never seen a dog before. Guess we can give you a pass in this instance seeing as how he’s flying economy and well, that doesn’t happen often.
Big Time
That Perfect Selfie
Seriously? Talk about desperately searching for that perfect selfie. What has the world come to? At least he’s making a funny face, that makes it a little bit better.
That Perfect Selfie
Rude.
Some people really don’t have a care in the world and this guy could care less if he got caught taking a peek! It’s merely a flight attendant doing her job, nothing more.
Rude.
Catching Those ZZZs
Sleeping on a plane is always a difficult process but it looks like this lady has it all figured out. Wonder what her secret is?
Catching Those ZZZs
Jipped
Yes! You finally snagged the window seat but life catches up and this happens. ~Sigh~. Just another day, kid, get used to it. Also, is anyone thinking, “You can’t always get what you want.” But the song!
Jipped
Best Flight Ever
If this little guy was sat in the seat in front of me, I would not be able to contain my excitement! #dogsrulecatsdrool
Best Flight Ever
Smile!
Richard Branson, the owner of Virgin Airlines, once lost a bet to the CEO of AirAisa, Tony Fernandes. As a result, he had to dress and then work as a female flight attendant during a 6-hour AirAsia flight. We can’t believe he actually went through with it!
Smile!
Hey O
If you wind up on a flight filled with Victoria Secret supermodels, well we’re not quite sure how to construct a sentence that doesn’t make us look like tools. #selife is the best we can do. Sorry!
Hey O
Chewbacca Need We Say More?
Even Chewbacca has to fly economy sometimes! It happens to the best of us at some point or another.
Chewbacca Need We Say More
On Point
As far as name tags go, this one is just brilliant! Do you think that the in-flight entertainment includes The Princess Bride? We sure hope so!
On Point
Comfy Level Set
At some point in every relationship your partner will become very comfortable in front on you. And it extends beyond the house you share, the comfort even follows you out in public and sometimes you wish it wouldn’t. What kind of comfort? The one that allows you to put your feet on your partner’s head regardless of where you are.
Comfy Level Set
Double Trouble
They say that everyone has a doppleganger somewhere in the world, and that’s exactly what happened here. Two guys who look very much alike, but are not related, just happened to be on the flight. Crazy!
Double Trouble
Fail? Fail.
Flight attendants have a difficult job, no doubt. However you would think they would be better at taking cat naps! This is just amateur.
Fail? Fail.
Handy…Not.
Yikes, what a mistake! (Clearly someone ripped off the “T” but let’s not focus on the details.) Although we will say that this is pretty hilarious and so not helpful.
Handy…Not.
What’s Up Bro?
Yup, you just wish you were as suave as this kid right here. He looks like he’s about to steal your girl without even trying.
Whats Up Bro
Much Needed Sleep
Like we’ve already said, falling asleep on planes can sometimes be a very difficult task and when sleep eventually comes, well you can’t be held responsible for what your face does in return.
Much Needed Sleep
Buddy System
Yes, that is a woman carrying a pig (or a hog) on her shoulder on-board a plane. At this point though, we’ve seen it all. Dogs, ducks, kangaroos, and so on!
Buddy System
Irked Like No Other
Ugh, some people are just so rude and don’t care about those around them. It’s all about how comfortable they are, the others, well who cares apparently! Guess their parents didn’t teach them any manners growing up.
Irked Like No Other
Terrified Like No Other
GULP. The last thing you want to watch while flying is a show about “plane crashes”. That’s just common sense! Poor planning for the entertainment department here.
Terrified Like No Other
Something’s Not Right Here
Look, we have no idea why this guy has earplugs in his nose and not his ears but maybe there was a funky smell? That could explain it all but then again, maybe not.
Somethings Not Right Here
So Comfy
Uhh, this guy took getting comfortable on board a flight to a whole other extreme. One that should never, ever be approached by anyone. EVER.
So Comfy
Heaven
This. This is my kind of flight! Nothing but doggies everywhere you look is the definition of perfection.
Heaven
The Rich And Fabulous
So how many of you had a private jet take you back to school? Show of hands! Anyone? Yeah, that’s what we thought.
The Rich And Fabulous
Faceswap Terrors
Could there be anything creepier than a faceswap with the inside of a cabin during your flight? Okay, fine, there could be. But this is just terrifying!
Faceswap Terrors
Okay Then
We’ve all been there. There’s always one passenger who gets on everyone’s nerves big time. However did the flight attendant really have to play us like this? We’re not all bad you know!
Okay Then
So Annoying
Ugh, people who hog the armrest are so rude! But the ones who complain about it to your face are even worse. Like, settle down, Linda – this flight is eight hours long. Sharing is caring.
So Annoying
Oh Snap
Could this be the best TSA Snapchat of all time? We’d like to say yes unfortunately.
Oh Snap
Well Played
That caption though. That’s pretty much makes this the funniest photo ever. Why do people feel the need to document everything? The plane is going down!
Well Played
Err, What?
Now this is some serious passenger shaming. Why would this man air out his shoes? On a cramped plane? It gets smelly real quick and this is just crossing some serious line.
Err What
You’re A Monster
No, no, no, no, no. Just NO. What kind of monster leaves behind a mess like this?! It is not the flight attendant’s job to clean up after you, you crazy person! I feel so bad for the people who had to work on this flight. This is just terrible.
You’re A Monster
Make Yourself Comfy
Now this is just taking things way too far. Why? Why use a meal tray as a foot stool?! Surely that breaks all kinds of health and safety violations. Someone stop this person! The insanity of it all.
Make Yourself Comfy
Air Dry
No problem lady, just hang up your wet swimsuit to dry…while you’re on a flight packed with strangers. It’s totally normal and unacceptable behavior, right? NO. No is the answer you were looking for.
