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?'

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.
