Heard recently one morning on JFK tower frequency.
JetBlue: Tower, is our speed compatible with the aircraft ahead of us?
Tower: As long as you don’t go to warp factor 6, you should be fine.

Key Takeaways:
- A JetBlue pilot inquired with JFK Tower about maintaining safe speed and spacing with a preceding aircraft.
- The air traffic controller responded humorously with a "warp factor 6" Star Trek reference, assuring the pilot their speed was compatible.
