Default F-16 Encounters in MOA

Its simple really. Rogue F-16 pilot decided to play with some civilian
pilots. F-16 pilot was reported to have been punished for breaking
both FAA and military rules. Military says its taken steps to ensure
it doesn't happen again. I assume F-16 pilots now know where the xmit
button is in their plane and can use that to ask pilots if they'd like
to smell Jet-A exhaust rather than just jump them. BTW: I know a lot
of East coast pilots will ask why anyone would want to fly in a hot
MOA. If you haven't flown in the SW you don't know. If 90% of the East
coast was MOA and restricted airspace you'd feel different.

Do all F-16's now have VHF radios? At a Wings safety seminar sevaral
years ago I was told that most only have UHF and thus can't directly
communicate with GA aircraft.
