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 at JFK Airport inquired with air traffic control about maintaining a compatible speed with the preceding aircraft.
- The JFK Tower controller responded humorously, using a "warp factor 6" pop-culture reference to assure the pilot that their speed would be acceptable.
