Fly Baja Safari
An
Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic. It flies consistently at
800 km/h at 30,000 feet, when suddenly a Eurofighter with a 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, boring flight isn’t it? Now have a look here!"
He
rolls his jet on its back, accelerates, breaks through the sound
barrier, rises rapidly to a dizzying height, and then swoops 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 watch this!"
The
jet pilot watches the Airbus, but nothing happens. It continues to fly
straight, at the same speed. After 15 minutes, the Airbus pilot radios,
"Well, how was that?
Confused, the jet pilot asks, "What did you do?"
The
AirBus pilot laughs and says: "I got up, stretched my legs, walked to
the back of the aircraft to use the washroom, then got a cup of coffee
and a chocolate fudge pastry."
The moral of the story is: When
you’re young, speed and adrenaline seems to be great. But as you get
older and wiser, you learn that comfort and peace are more important.
This is called S.O.S.: Slower, Older and Smarter.
Dedicated to all my friends ~ it’s time to slow down and enjoy the rest of the trip.
