I caught part of an episode of "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" (1979-1981) in which Buck and Wilma, in a dogfight with the Draconians, are aided by aging space jockey Brigadier Gordon. An approximation of their dialogue:
Buck: Nice moves, Gordon. Have we met before?
Gordon: I don't think so, Captain. I was doing stuff like this since before you were born.
Buck (who is in a sense 500 years old): Are you sure about that?
Gordon: I'm sure.
As you may have guessed, Brigadier Gordon was played by Buster Crabbe, who played the roles of Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, and Tarzan in the 1930s and 40s.
