Is this the same Nick Costley of "jet pilot" fame?
Yep! It is indeed!

Well, it's been a while, but I still reckon it's funny! Perhaps it should be shown to Will!

Bakseet - where were the beach scenes shot - Solomons?
Still funny.
Mate met a short guy once at a party; who started off the conversation `so what do you do for a job?'
Mate told him, and then made the fatal mistake of saying, `...and you?'
`I fly F18 Hornets for the RAAF...'
You can guess the rest...

A while ago...

...at the RAF's Sunday evening reception at the Toronto airshow I was chatting to a rather super young lady who was wearing a red suede outfit with a "raggedy edged " skirt which was a tad revealing. We were getting along nicely when in smooths "Joe Cool" who was number 6 with the Thunderbirds (who had failed to perform the entire w/e because the WX was outside their limits).

"Hey there sweet heart, I'm Joe Cool, I'm with the Thunderbirds". I of course didn't exist on his planet.

Now, she had fought her way into the hotel past the huge PR machine for the Thunderbirds, posters, video displays, airmen in immaculate powder blue flying suits, the whole nine yards

She completely blew me away with her reply - "Who?? the who?". He slunk away with his one chat-up line not working.

I picked her up and whirled her around, kissed her and put her back down, laughing fit to bust.

"What did I do? Did I do something good?"
"More than you'll ever know darlin' more than you'll ever know.

Similar to Rossian...

At an air show party in Pennsylvania (summer 1991) some of us on the crew (of a particular ex-RAF 4-jet that seem to upset several members when it's name is mentioned on this site) were having a lovely conversation with a very attractive young lady when up strides Mr Big Smile. Ignoring that she was in conversation with us, he introduces himself with "Hi, I'm {Jon Doe} and I am the display pilot of the F117 Stealth Fighter". We had to contain ourselves when she looked at home, replied "Oh, that's nice for you" and then turned her back on him and continued to chat with us. I can still remember the look on his face to this day

There was the story of Neil Williams ( then Jetstream TP) on "Fred's Sheds" stand at Farnborough.
A couple of young ladies were chatting to him and got round to asking him what he did at HP. He admitted to being a pilot and when pressed finally confessed to being the CTP.
At which point a couple of guys had overheard this remark as they were passing by,
Over his shoulder one called back:

"Oh , Hi Neil!"
"What are we today then , Chief Test Pilot or Nuclear Submarine Captain?"

One remembers a Red introducing himself to a chum of mine with the immortal words:

"Hi - I'm Joe Cool (real name redacted!) - Red 7"

Chum replies:

"Hi - Fred Bloggs (as above) - Par 12!"

Nutty

Poor sods in the background, no doubt they have been inspected to the smallest detail to make sure they and their uniforms are up to standard etc, to end up looking like a drowned rat, and if my Uniform was anything to go by, smelling like an old wet dog.
Just like all those brand new T63 Best Blues on Coronation Day.

Gawd, I'm giving my age away, again.

Somewhere west of 30W, not so happy Blue Angel CO on finding his official ride with 'RAF Future Pilot' stickers on 100% of his windscreen.
