Lesson in the Sky

Airbus and the F-18 fighter

By Ali BahPublished 10 months ago 3 min read

🔴✈️

An AIRBUS A380 commercial airliner flies over the Atlantic, heading towards its destination. It was a very calm and stable flight flying at 900 km/h and 30,000 feet in altitude. It is then that he is interrupted by the sudden appearance of an F-18 fighter plane at nearly 2,500 km/hour.

The fighter pilot slows down, flies next to the AIRBUS and greets the airbus pilot by radio:

- Boring the flight?

The Airbus pilot responds, disconcerted:

- What ?

The combat pilot without warning reverses the game, accelerates, makes a slight dive then climbs back breaking the sound barrier, continues to climb rapidly at a dizzying speed and height, only to return almost to sea level in an impressive dive ... slows down and moves back next to the Airbus and asks the Airbus pilot:

- Well, what do you think?

The Airbus pilot replied:

- It is very impressive. But now, look at me!

The fighter jet pilot looks at the Airbus A380. But nothing happens. The Airbus continues to fly straight and level with the same speed and altitude.

After a few minutes, the Airbus pilot asked the F-18 pilot by radio:

- So, what do you think now? The pilot of the fighter plane asks, confused:

But what did you do?

Then the Airbus pilot laughs and replies:

- I got up from my seat, stretched my legs, went to the bathroom in the back, got a cup of coffee, ate a cinnamon thread and made a reservation for the next three nights, in a 5 star hotel, which is paid for by my employer.

In conclusion :

The conclusion of this story is this: 'When you are a young man full of strength and vigor, speed and adrenaline seem to be good company in your life, but as you go grows older, as the years go by, we become wiser because comfort and peace should not be denigrated either.”

This concept is called S.O.S: Slower, Older, Smarter.

Dedicated to young people who need to reduce their anxiety and learn to be more patient, and to my friends who are getting closer and closer to the S.O.S, tell them: ENJOY THE FLIGHT!
