George Thelen has one, F-4 at an estimated three foot separation. IIRC,
that's what really got him into writing about safety for Soaring.

George is a friend of mine, and I know that story well, and it is believable
and scary. That said, I think that military fighter pilots are not immune
from buzzing gliders:

"Hey Maverick, got the glider at 12:00? Lets wake him up."

Been there, done that (twice, on the receiving end), have the stained
shorts...

Now when one goes by the first thing I think of is "Wingman!"
