Look what my plane can do!

A young F-22 fighter pilot saw a lumbering C-5 Galaxy below him and decided to have fun with it's pilot.





So he told the C-5 pilot to watch what he could do. He then did a series of evasive maneuvers that would have destroyed a lesser aircraft.


Afterwards, he asked if the C-5 was capable of doing anything interesting.

The C-5 pilot told the F-22 to get above and behind him so that he could witness something that absolutely NO F-22 pilot could do.

The F-22 pilot did so immediately, and wondered what could possibly be better than the maneuvers he had just done.


He watched the C-5 do absolutely nothing for five minutes, when C-5 pilot called and asked him how he liked the demonstration?

The F-22 guy said that the other pilot didn't do anything!

On the contrary, he was told. "I set the auto-pilot, got up and walked to the bathroom to relieve myself. I then made a great cup of coffee, and walked back here with a couple of donuts."

When I wsa working at VMFAT-401, the squadron of Israeli-made Kfirs, flown by Marine pilots and maintained by civvies and a few Israelis, we had a pilot (Orca, by call-sign) enter the pattern. Unbeknownst by him, an old flight-school pal of his was behind him in a C-141. Suddenly, on our squadron discrete freq we monitored in the line-shack, we heard "I call guns on the Kfir on downwind! Cargo-123 (or whatever his ident was)...". Poor Orca said he about broke his neck trying to find the 141 on his tail, it seemed it was in perfect guns position too
The 141 pilot eventually showed up in the line-shack, and we sent him up to see Orca. Poor Orca, seemed he made himself a name...Another friend of his was having a leisurely flight in one of the local Flying Club C-172's, pulled the same thing on him in the pattern. Had to be royally embarassing to have his "brains gunned out" by both a 141 and a Cessna 172!
From that day on, we never let him forget the incidents, either...
