The Navy Pilot

[George Cole]

During a commercial airline flight, a Navy pilot was seated next to a young mother with a babe in arms. When the baby began crying during the descent for landing, the mother began nursing the infant as discreetly as possible. The pilot pretended not to notice and, upon debarking, he gallantly offered his assistance to help with the various baby-related paraphernalia.

When the young mother expressed her gratitude, the pilot responded, "Gosh, that's a good looking baby...and he sure was hungry!"

Somewhat embarrassed, the mother explained that her pediatrician said nursing would help alleviate the pressure in the baby's ears.

The Navy pilot sadly shook his head, and in true Navy pilot fashion exclaimed, "And all these years I've been chewing gum."

Nobody told me, either!

That was a good one.

I have to say, though, the Navy doesn't have pilots, they have aviators . I may have watched Top Gun too many times...

[Ed62]

Excellent!

Dang, I've been using the gum trick with only limited success!

here are a couple terrible Air Force pilot jokes;

How do you know if there is an Air Force pilot at your party?


He'll tell you.

What's the difference between an Air Force pilot and a jet engine?

A jet engine stops whining when the planes shuts down.

How many Air Force pilots does it take to change a light bulb?


One...he just holds the bulb and the world revolves around him.


one of my favorites;

A couple of F-15's are escorting a C-130 Hercules, and their pilots were chatting with the pilots of the transport to pass the time. Talk comes ‘round to the relative merits of their respective aircraft. Of course the fighter pilots contend that their airplanes were better because of their superior speed, maneuverability, weaponry, and so forth, while the putting down the Herc’s deficiencies in these areas.

After taking this for a while, one C-130 pilot says, "Oh yeah? Well, I can do a few things in this old girl that you'd only dream about." Naturally, the fighter jocks challenge him to demonstrate.

"Just watch," comes the quick retort.

And so they watch. But all they see is that C-130 continuing to fly straight and level..

After several minutes the Herc pilot comes back on the air, saying "There! How was that?"

Not having seen anything, the fighter pilots reply, "What are you talking about? What did you do?"

And the Herc pilot replies, "Well, I got up, stretched my legs, got a cup of coffee, then went back an took a leak."


If you have ever ridden in a C-130 they do have a coffee maker, galley, library, bunks, and a place to relieve yourself.

As well as shut down two engines and stay in the air.

Got hooked as a baby, and could never give it up. Much better than gum...never loses flavor.

Ever see the video clip where they landed a C-130 on a carrier? That was awesome! The flight deck was COMPLETELY cleared for the attempt, but the pilot set it down with room to spare. Never did see if he was able to take off.

[mater]

That was good. I needed a laugh this morning.

[ironhat]

I don't think that the wife is gonna go for it but I'll ask!

[scmhogg]

Ah the C-130. When I was in the Army, the C-130 was the favorite to drop jumpers. On one of the field maneuvers, we were in a C-130 that landed in a little meadow between the trees. I'm sure it was less than a klik long. Later, we took off with JATO. It was like blasting off. Not very comfortable on the side facing web seats, with full equipment.

Reading the joke about the pilot relieving himself, reminded me of the time a nervous young trooper, jumping with us for the first time since jump school, picked up the urination tube, held it to his mouth and said, " PILOT TO CO-PILOT, PILOT TO CO-PILOT." I'm sure he heard those words, more than any other, during his time in the Division.

Hear is the video of the landing

Hear is the video of the landing

THANKS!! Saved me the trouble of finding it. That video shows they could land and take off from the decks with little or not problem.

As Paul Harvey would say, here's the rest of the story:

Years ago I saw some video of maximum performance takeoffs and landings for the C-130 and the C-141. Pretty amazing stuff.

My father-in-law used to sell C-130s.

[Russianwolf]

then there's the version than can pump more ammo into a target than the f-15.......
