**** we have a problem, company traffic overtaking you, you can either climb or descend your choice.
pilot: Can I increase speed to stay ahead?(C130 being chased by a KC35 and 2xF16's)
me: Sure, if you can increse to about say...420kts g/s!
pilot: I've just got the engineer out bolting some more engines on the wing! I'll call you back shortly.
Gotta love a Herc pilot with a sense of humour.
