Pilots prank goes viral on Reddit – would YOU trust him to fly your plane after this?

FUNNY OR CRUEL: A pilot pretended to be blind at a busy airport

A pilot has gone viral after he pranked passengers by pretending to be blind.

The unidentified man was photographed walking through a busy airport with a white stick and sunglasses.

While some might think the joke is inappropriate, others praised his sense of humour.

User u/Whitlow14 posted the prank on Reddit 12 hours ago with the caption: “We can all appriciate a pilot with a sense of humour”.

JOKE: The prank has received mixed reactions on Reddit

But not everyone agrees the joke is funny.

One Redit user said: “In poor taste … no professional pilot who worked for a major airline – or reputable airline would do such a thing.”

But another saw the funny side, saying: “Best joke I've seen in a long time.”

According to Whitlow, the prank was undertaken by a pilot at Halloween, so it could also have been a normal member of the public with a very realistic pilot's uniform.
