F-16 vs C-130

F-16 vs C-130

A C-130 was lumbering along when a cocky F-16 flashed by. The jet jockey decided to show off.

The fighter jock told the C-130 pilot, "Watch this!" and promptly went into a barrel roll followed by a steep climb. He then finished with a sonic boom as he broke the sound barrier. The F-16 pilot asked the C-130 pilot what he thought of that?

The C-130 pilot said, "That was impressive, but watch this!"

The C-130 droned along for about 5 minutes and then the C-130 pilot came back on and said, "What did you think of that?"

Puzzled, the F-16 pilot asked, "What the heck did you do?"

The C-130 pilot chuckled and said, "I stood up, stretched my legs, walked to the back, took a leak, then got a cup of coffee and a cinnamon roll."

The moral of the story is: When you are young and foolish - speed and flash may seem a good thing! When you get older and smarter - comfort and dull is not such a bad thing!

Us older folks understand this one.

And don't forget the earlier conversation with the 747 pilot:

(Flying through a cold front)
"How's the weather down there?"
"Not too bad, how's the pay up there?"
