He told the CFI that he tried 121.5 but got no response. How true that
is I have no idea. Instead he was able to contact Socal Approach who
said that they had been watching him for a while and that he needed to
land immediately.

He wasn't one of the ones that got flares. I think that would look
kinda cool personally (as long as it wasn't my license on the line

I know this guy and the instructor in question. In fact I was with the

He has no business playing the role of a victim as it sounds in the

Given the fact that the F-16s had to fire flairs to get the pilot's
attention, I would have to agree with you. I'm wondering why he
didn't he tune to 121.5 MHz per intercept procedures. Did the CFI
brief those procedures?
