F-16 Encounters in MOA

"In the old days" I used to
regularly fly near an MOA and it was not at all uncommon to have a
pair of f-16s pass me (one on either side) about 200 yards out.



In another time and place, while flying along the shore of Lake
Michigan, I had a similar experience with A-10s. I noticed one creeping
up along side me on the left less than 50 yards away. Knowing that where
there is one, there's another, I looked off to the right to see his
wingman. It was a pleasure to see them. Of course the situation with the
OP F-16 encounter was different. (To MX: no wake turbulence; look up
what conditions and aircraft cause WT)

Were I to find one sliding up along side I'd probably just wave. Now
were it another private plane that might be a different matter. I'm
fussy about who gets close, but I figure the guy flying the f-16 has
the skill to be there.

What kind of wake turbulence does he have?


What does it matter to you? You'll never fly.

Ever.
