A military freighter aircraft was droning through the sky one day when a fighter pilot pulled up to cruise alongside in his agile machine. He called the freighter captain over the radio and commented "You must get bored of driving that thing around the sky unable to do much".
"No", replied the captain, "I don't get bored. Why, what can you do?"
"Well, watch this!" said the fighter pilot, and he pulled away and then executed a stunning series of aerobatics including rolls, loops, spins, and so on. After about 5 minutes of this he pulled up to cruise alongside the freighter again. "What did you think of that?' he said.
"Not much" said the freighter captain, "Watch this".
The fighter pilot moved away a bit and watched. The freighter droned on for about 5 minutes and the fighter pilot was just beginning to get impatient when the freighter captain came back onto the radio again. "Well" he said, "What did you think of that?"
"But you didn't do anything" said the fighter pilot.
"Oh yes I did" said the freighter captain. "I got out of my seat, stretched, walked to the back of the aircraft, had a piss, came forward to the galley, made myself a cup of coffee and a sandwich, chatted up the female loadmaster, and then came back to my seat..."

Brilliant!! There are horses for courses, & that freighter pilot won the contest. There is always some smart *rse who wants too show off what they can do. I love it when a grey nomad pulls the blanket from under them with a few small gestures.
