The private jet had taken off quite typicallyIN A USUAL OR NORMAL WAY and had been flying for a while when suddenly one of the engines poppedMADE A SUDDEN LOUD NOISE.

The plane went into a loopA CIRCULAR MOVEMENT IN THE AIR, then lost altitude. Flames were now visible from the bad engine.

“Mayday! Mayday!” the pilot screamedSHOUTED VERY LOUDLY, USUALLY IN FEAR OR PANIC into his mic. “May Day!”

No answer. The aircraft went into another loop and started tremblingSHAKING SLIGHTLY BECAUSE OF FEAR, WEAKNESS, OR INSTABILITY. The smell of smoke had by now infestedSPREAD UNPLEASANTLY THROUGHOUT the cabin.

The pilot held on and after a few explosionsSUDDEN AND VIOLENT BURSTS in the rear, managed to land the private jet at Mcghee Tyson Airport, the nearest airport.

MidgetsOUTDATED, OFFENSIVE TERM FOR VERY SHORT PEOPLE started coming down the evacuation slide.

One of the airport guards, who was watching the scene with a colleague, exclaimed: “I’ve never seen a plane that carried only midgetsOUTDATED, OFFENSIVE TERM FOR VERY SHORT PEOPLE!”

His friend looked at him and said, “Those aren’t midgetsOUTDATED, OFFENSIVE TERM FOR VERY SHORT PEOPLE. Those are MagatsNEOLOGISM THAT LABELS TRUMP'S MAGA FOLLOWERS, COMPARING THEM TO MAGGOTS [maggot], with the shit scared out of them.”

Let’s look at these three: loop, trembling, and infested.
  • The pilot performed a dangerous loop to avoid the mountain.
  • Her hands were trembling after the emergency landing.
  • Smoke infested the cabin, making it hard to breathe.
This joke uses the past perfect and past simple to set up a sequence of dramatic events. The past perfect ("had taken off", "had been flying") gives background, while the past simple ("popped", "screamed", "landed") drives the action forward. The humour comes from the wordplay at the end and the absurdity of the situation.
  • The jet had taken off before the engine popped.
  • The pilot screamed for help, but no one answered.
  • After the explosions, he managed to land safely.
