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
didn't think it was very cool though - they were way too close and way
too big compared to me.

Yes, I agree.

The piece with the pilot reporter and the interview with Phil Boyer were
pretty fair, IMHO.


I do not ever want to be in the pilot's shoes. I must admit though,
it would be kinda cool to have a couple of F16's off the wings of my
little Cessna. Different circumstances certainly...
