Serious? Ok, here goes....
A B52 has 8 engines (4 to a wing) and the fighter jet had only one. His brillantly sarcastic quip was a perfect example of a jet jockey ponting to the percieved arrogance of the Buffs' "bus driver" mentality. Declare an emergency when 1/8 of the Buffs engines are out versus his 100% problem with his only engine. This is pretty typical of the banter that goes back and forth between the differnt types of aircrews out there.
Hopefully, my flame retardant underwear will protect me from all of the "bus drivers" I just po'ed out there in freeperland....
that is ok if you go read my post I flammed all the jet jocks... :)
Hail to the bus driver - he needs it. :)
Great topic - I enjoyed the humor.
An F-15 pulled up alongside a C-141 up in the flight levels and managed to contact the cargo plane on the radio. After chatting a while, the fighter pilot said, "Hey, watch this!", and proceeded to do a barrel roll around the C-141.
The C-141 pilot was duly impressed, and called back, "That's nothing. Watch this..."
After two minutes of stright and level flight, the fighter pilot couldn't stand it, and said, "OK, what did you do?".
The C-141 pilot said, "I just got up, walked back to the restroom and took a piss, stretched my legs for a while, then got a cup of coffee."
