But I'll bet the Navy jet jockeys have more fun on average. Landing on a carrier at night or in rough seas, flying past & near the carrier at flight deck level breaking the sound barrier (boy does that ring inside the hanger bay!) Landing at 20 second intervals on the angle deck moving @ 30+ knots. The Ranger CVA61 rang up flank speed just after clearing the Alameda channel, did a relatively tight turn toward the Golden Gate bridge, and launched two F4s form the bow cats. Full afterburners, one over the bridge and one under. Just for fun, headed for Vietnam. Things got more serious there!
 
Here is one that I have always liked.

This is the transcript of a radio conversation of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. Radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations 10-10-95.

Americans: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.
Canadians: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.
Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.
Canadians: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.
Americans: This is the aircraft carrier USS Lincoln, the second largest ship in the United States' Atlantic fleet. We are accompanied by three destroyers, three cruisers and numerous support vessels. I demand that YOU change your course 15 degrees north, that's one five degrees north, or countermeasures will be undertaken to ensure the safety of this ship.
Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call.
