An exchange observed between the pilot of a sleek experimental and a Cessna driver shortly after they both taxied to the ramp... Cessna Pilot: Wow. That thing really moves!

A friend of mine was cruising along in his turbo arrow at 18,000 feet one day when a 737 was called out to him at his 1 o'clock and 15 miles passing to his left. The 737 crew was similarly advised. When they passed, the 737 Capt remarked "What are you doing up here?" My friend replied, "About a 178 knots."
