Oh, that's also the sequence with the "peace / war" switch! That did make me laugh. Turns out it's a real thing, though - but they probably wouldn't have flipped it in this situation.

That is exactly it. For some reason my brain had spliced Schwartenegger into the cockpit. Funny how memory works.

It really threw me because I also remembered the scene but not the actor so I kept looking for Schwarzenegger movies. Good, checked that one off the list :)
