There's a story about the military pilot calling for a priority
landing, because his single-engine jet fighter was running "a bit
peaked."
Air Traffic Control told the fighter jock that he was number two,
behind a B-52 that had one engine shut down.
"Ah," the fighter pilot remarked, "The dreaded Seven-Engine approach."

A student became lost during a solo cross-country flight. While
attempting to locate the aircraft on radar, ATC asked, "What was your
last known position?"
Student: "When I was number one for takeoff".
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++
Taxiing down the tarmac, the DC10 abruptly stopped, turned around and
returned to the gate. After an hour-long wait, it finally took off.
A concerned passenger asked the flight attendant, "What, exactly, was
the problem?"
"The pilot was bothered by a noise he heard in the engine," explained
the flight attendant.
"It took us a while to find a new pilot."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++
"TWA 2341, for noise abatement turn right 45 Degrees.."
"Center, we are at 35,000 feet. How much noise can we make up here?"
"Sir, have you ever heard the noise a 747 makes when it hits a 727?"
