Military Jokes Air Force Pilot Humour

An Air Force jet fighter pilot was cruising through high-altitude airspace while monitoring the radio chatter from regional ground control. A civilian Cessna pilot keyed the microphone and requested a speed check from the controller, who reported eighty knots. Moments later, a twin-engine commercial airliner radioed in asking for their ground speed, to which the controller replied two hundred and twenty knots. Wanting to show off, a Navy F-18 pilot piped up and asked for a ground speed check for his jet. The controller responded, '520 knots.' Just then, a secret SR-71 Blackbird spy plane crew operating miles above everyone else keyed the frequency and calmly asked for a speed read. The tower controller chuckled and radioed back, 'Aspen 20, I show you at 1,942 knots across the ground.' There was a brief pause before the Blackbird pilot replied, 'Ah, Roger tower, our equipment shows 1,945 knots, but we'll accept your figure.' No one else said a word on that frequency for the rest of the flight.

A veteran Air Force flight instructor was evaluating a rookie pilot inside an advanced, highly realistic jet fighter simulator. The instructor decided to test the young officer's stress response by programming a catastrophic triple engine failure alongside a severe electrical blackout during heavy turbulence. The rookie pilot calmly flipped three switches, reached down to his side console, and pressed a red button. Suddenly, the simulator screens went completely black, and the mechanical hydraulic motion came to a smooth halt. The instructor stepped into the cockpit in shock and yelled, 'Lieutenant! What protocol did you just execute?' The rookie unclipped his helmet and said, 'Sir, I activated the simulate-coffee-break procedure. If both engines fail and the electronics blow, I'm taking a break to read the manual!'

After completing a long flight, an Air Force pilot handed the aircraft maintenance logbook to the chief ground crew mechanic. In the issue section, the pilot had written: 'Problem: Test flight complete. Autopilot system tends to drop the aircraft by 100 feet per minute in levelling mode.' The chief mechanic took the book, performed his inspection, wrote down the fix, and returned it to the hangar board. The pilot came back the next morning to check the resolution. Next to his entry, the mechanic had written: 'Solution: Software check complete. Aircraft autopilot recalibrated. Test pilot instructed not to drop his heavy flight bag onto the altitude sensor housing during flight.'

A decorated stealth bomber pilot was giving a lecture to young radar technicians about low-observable technology and radar cross-section engineering. He showed a slide of a multi-billion-dollar radar-evading aircraft and asked the class, 'Can anyone tell me what makes this state-of-the-art aircraft practically invisible to modern radar systems?' A young technician in the front row raised his hand and answered, 'Well, sir, according to our maintenance records, it's mostly invisible because it's been parked inside Hangar 4 undergoing engine repairs for the last six weeks!' The room burst into laughter while the pilot nodded in quiet agreement.
