I don't have a problem with fighters practicing intercepts with civilian
aircraft in an MOA but the pilot in question didn't show the good since
to see that his actions were causing the civilian plane to respond and
he didn't break off the intercept. I wonder if this Lt. even knew that
some civilian aircraft had things like TCAS in them.
You would also expect he would first *ask* if the civilian pilot
wanted to play this game. Military flying is very dangerous compared
to civilian flying and I suspect that most of us are not willing to
accept a military level of risk while flying around with friends and
family in the back.
