=0A=0A=0AMy guess is you've never flown the F-16.=0AStan Sutterfield=0ADo n
ot archive=0AToo precious.
F16 =0A vs. C-130
A C-130 was lumbering along when a cocky F-16 flashed =0A by.
The jet jockey decided to show off.
The fighter jock told =0A the C-130 pilot, 'watch this!' and promptly went
into
a barrel roll =0A followed by a steep climb. He then finished with a sonic
boom
as he broke =0A the sound barrier. The F-16 pilot
asked the C-130 pilot what he thought of =0A that?
The C-130 pilot said, 'That was impressive, but watch =0A this!'
The C-130 droned along for about 5 minutes and then the C-130 =0A pilot ca
me
back on and said: 'What did you think of that?'
Puzzled, =0A the F-16 pilot asked, 'What the heck did you do?'
The C-130 pilot =0A chuckled. 'I stood up, stretched my legs, walked to th
e
back, took a =0A leak,- then got a cup of coffee and a cinnamon roll.'
When you =0A are young & foolish --- speed & flash may seem a good thi
ng =0A !!!
When you get older & smarter - comfort & dull is not such a =0A bad thing!
!!
Us older folks understand this =0Aone.

Even, double ugly, the mighty F-4G, the dinasour of fighter aircraft was
great to fly. Dropping one bomb a year would be worth a year of
microwave heated steaks on the C-130 and bathroom breaks. However, when
the C-130 takes troops to the heart of a battle or combat drops supplies
to the guys fighting on the ground, my hat is off to them.
