I flew past China Lake a few years ago, well away from the restricted
area, and two F-16's came by to take a look at me. I was in my Cessna
140, tootling along - and clearly they couldn't fly slow enough to
match my speed, I still don't know what their slowest flight is -

I have seen F-16's at air shows, in very high angles of attack, go so slow
that your 140 would likely stall. g
