It
flies consistently at 800 km/h in 30,000 feet, when suddenly two Euro
Fighters with Tempo Mach 2 appears.
The pilot of the fighter jet slows down, flies alongside the Airbus and
greets the pilot of the passenger plane by radio: "Airbus flight,
boring flight isn't it? Take care and have a look here!"
He rolls his jet on its back, accelerates, breaks through the sound
barrier, rises rapidly to a dizzying height, only to swoop down almost
to sea level in a breathtaking dive. He loops back next to the Airbus
and asks, "Well, how was that?"
The Airbus pilot answers: "Very impressive, but now have a look
here!"
The jet pilot watches the Airbus, but nothing happens. It continues to
fly stubbornly straight, with the same speed. After five minutes, the
Airbus pilot radioed, "Well, what are you saying now?"
The jet pilot. Confused, asks "What did you do"?" The other
laughs and says, "I got up, stretched my legs, went to the back of
the flight to the bathroom, got a cup of coffee and a cinnamon cake and
made an appointment with the stewardess for the next three nights - in a
5 Star hotel, which is paid for by my employer. "
The moral of the story is...
When you are young, speed and adrenaline seems to be great. But as you
get older and wiser, comfort and peace are not to be despised either.
This is called S.O.S. : Slower, Older, Smarter.
This is dedicated to all my friends who, like me, cherish the S.O.S. approach!
