Gp Cap Monsieur LeHoskins checks his log book, confirmed this is his 17th catapult launch as noted on the aircraft stencils, However Checks the Trap column is still blank, empty, zero , zilch nada.

The Pilot was surprised to run out of fuel on the practice bombing run when he discovered the external tank was actually a bucket of instant sunshine.

The Red Shirts had heard what usually befell them on the USS Enterprise so when needed were not to be seen.

Why all the jibes about the jags speed?
Because the bridle will probably get further!

Trainee launch guy, "Why does the nose wheel extend like that"?
Experienced launch guy, "Because it generates more lift, same idea as on the Phantom".
Pilot, "PHANTOM!!!! WHERE"?

You'd be better sending those bombs by Packlink. They're more likely to get delivered!

"I hear that Jaguar is to become an all electric brand after 2025".

"I hope that these cables will be long enough to reach the target then".

Not really a caption, but a good excuse for a really old joke...

"Doctor! I think that I have Hermes".

"Don't you men Herpes?"

"No - I think I'm a carrier".

The Captain won't have it in the hangar, so just to make sure we've hung 3 tonnes of bomb-shaped concrete on it, we've hung Chiefy's model submarine on it and we've stuck the fat work-experience kid in the cockpit, but orders is orders so we tie it down. Finish tightening that and we can get below. Storm forecast or not, this one's not going anywhere.

"Somebody tell this idiot that with his tailhook down, the thing won't launch!"

"That's exactly why he put it down! He is only the cook's assistant, sitting in there for the photo shoot."

It's going whether it flies or not - the ship's cat is jealous.

I think it's a mutual feline, Sir.
