Gee, finally they are obeying the interceptors? back in the 50s some of
them would try to evade. In the 60s the drug smugglers would try it,
too. But then we started tailing them, lights out, and keeping the
controller informed as to where they were going. The evasion in the 50s
gradually stopped when the intercepted aircraft found they just made
things worse for themselves. Although one 86 pilot got so ****ed he
'faced' a Bonanza who instantly learned all he wanted to know about
jetwash and from then on was a nice boy.
Never heard if the 86 pilot got in serious trouble for that maneuever.
