F16 vs. C-130

[RALPHIE]

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

(See Pic 1)​

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?

(See Pic 2)​

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 bathroom break, then got a cup of coffee and a cinnamon roll.'

That's like comparing a GT to a motorhome going down the freeway. I'd take the power & speed over a crapper & junk food anyday!

When being flown around. The C130 is still my favorite to fly in. Its not big like a 747, 777, or the other similars. Its often cold, rattles, and has stuff piled in it everywhere.

But when I remember back to flying in it, I don't remember the bodyscanners, worrying about shoe and underwear bombers, TSA ... well... they didn't exist. We where ALL armed (heavily) and if we didn't like the service ... well open the back hatch and jump out.

So for me the C130 represents the pinnacle of human cargo air travel. As loud, rattly and cold as they tend to be, you can keep your first class seats in your modern aluminum cargo coffin ... give me a lumbering old C130, a blanket, my ipod, and my assorted luggage point me to the nearest conex box so I can stretch out... and lets go.
