THERE IS A MORAL HERE! 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, went to the bathroom, then got a cup of coffee and a Cinnamon bun.'
When you are young & foolish - speed & flash may seem a good thing !!!
When you get older & smarter - comfort & dull is not such a bad thing !!!

We old folks understand this one.
In a few years the F-16 Jocky will be saying...I sure wish I had big toy to play with instead of a go fast.

I understand the moral of the story but would like to add...
As an ex Air Force crew chief on jets, I used to hang out with the pilots and dated a couple. They are like little boys, LOL. Fighter pilots think its cool to be a fighter jock and they even drive porsches and BMWs so they can act like they are in their jets, LOL. For a pilot who loves being a jet jockey to receive an assignment to a C-130 type aircraft, is traumatically disapointing! Of course, the jet jock loves to rub it in his face, hey, look at me! You can't do this! Well, your C-130 pilot was mature enough to have a great comeback! Loved it!!!
