I was no great fan of the Gil Gerard television version; but to their
great credit, they managed a nice 'tip of the hat' to the real Buck
Rogers - and Flash Gordon - Buster Crabbe.

In one of the Gerard TV episodes, Planet Earth's defense troops were
all otherwise occupied, and they had to send for the space pilot
retirees to take up the slack. Among the older set was Crabbe,
appearing nearly 40 years after his starring turn as "Buck" in the
Universal serial.

You left out the best part. On the radio, Buck tells "Commander Gordon"
to do something, and Crabbe replies "I've been doing this a lot longer
than you have."
