Make it an F-18 and a 787 and it’s great! ;-)

Very good.

Reminds me of the line in “Fried Green Tomatoes” (I think). Young chick swoops in to grab the parking space an older lady had been waiting for patiently. Old lady gently hits the chick’s car. “I’m older; I’ve got more insurance.”

"Control, Aspen-20. Ground speed check, please."

"Aspen-20, control, we have you at 1992 knots across the ground."

Nah, can’t rel;ate. This old fogey is staying away from chocolate fudge pastries and is staying fit, since the “rest of the trip” is pretty miserable when you are fat, unhealthy and out of shape.

Back in my day, it was a BUFF and an F-4. The punch line was "OK, now see why I can do". The F-4 driver waited but didn't see anything happening. When he asked the BUFF pilot what he did, the response was " I just shut down two engines, now let's see you do that."

(8 vs 2 engines)

One of the funnest, most rewarding things experiences I've ever had was being the president of my high school's aviation/aeronautics club. Every other week for an entire school year, I got to line up speakers and presentations. This was back in the 80s so there were still a lot of WWII vets (as well as Korea and Vietnam).

One guy had been a KC-135 pilot in Vietnam. He said that on base you could always tell the difference between a fighter pilot and a KC-135 pilot by looking at their flight suit. The fighter pilot would have his unzipped to just above his sternum and would have his sunglasses tucked in there. The KC-135 pilot would have a plastic spoon tucked into his sleeve pocket so he would always be able to stir his coffee.

The first time I heard this one it was an fighter that had just refueled from a tanker.

Since everyone else is commenting on variants:
I’ve heard this where the airline pilot either (1) made a date with the senior flight attendant, or (2) enjoyed a romantic interlude with her.
