The military plane was a
single engine aircraft.
The other plane had 7 engines.
That one cracked me up. ;o)

The fighter aircraft was single engine (like an F-16, for example). The bomber was a B-52.....has EIGHT engines. With one engine out, it would be making a seven-engine approach, in effect.........hence the fighter pilot's snide comment :).
