A Tale of Two Airplanes

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. "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 ain't so bad.

On a personal note:

I used to feel bad about not being the F-16 that I once was, when I hung out in the city and frequented restaurants, clubs, and bars.

 

These days, if you look for me in those old haunts, I'm not there.

So, I guess I'm a Stealth Fighter.
