Vista anybody?

There was a pilot flying a small single engine charter
plane, with a couple of very important executives on board. He was
coming into Seattle airport through thick fog with less than 10
miles visibility when his instruments went out. So, he began circling
around looking for a landmark. After an hour or so, he starts running
pretty low on fuel and the passengers are getting very nervous.

Finally, a small opening in the fog appears and he
sees a tall building with one guy working alone on the fifth
floor. The pilot banks the plane around,rolls down the window and
shouts to the guy, "Hey where am I?"

To this, the solitary office worker replies, "You're in a plane."

The pilot rolls up the window, executes a 275 degree
turn and proceeds to execute a perfect blind landing on the
runway of the airport 5 miles away. Just as the plane stops, so does
the engine as the fuel has run out.

The passengers are amazed and one asks how he did it.

"Simple," replies the pilot, "I asked the guy in that
building a simple question. The answer he gave me was 100 percent
correct but absolutely useless, therefore that must be Microsoft's
support office and from there the airport is just five miles due
East."
