We had an air show at Williams AFB with the Thunderbirds as the main event,
circa late 70's or so. Apparently back then they didn't want any acrobatic
flying by any other military aircraft at any airshow they were in. After
they arrive on Friday afternoon buzzing the control tower so close I could
see each finger of crewchief waving to us comm guys on the catwalk an ANG
F-106 arrived a couple of hours later. He asked the control tower local
control if the base wanted a little show. To which the local control (who
had a reputation as ****up) replied "do whatever you want to do" to which
the F-106 driver promptly did a high speed 360 at about 500 AGL over the
base. Certainly way over the 250KT speed limit. Said pilot (young LT as I
recall) was promptly met at his aircraft by our Wing King and immediately
grounded. Not sure what eventually happened to him although his unit had to
send a two seat F-106 to pick him and his F-106 up. As for the air traffic
controller he was immediately and permanently decertified and since he had
just re-enlisted with a huge re-enlistment bonus he was forced to pay that
back in addition to completing whatever term of service he had left in some
simple AFSC where he could do no harm.

Certainly think the FA-18 driver was treated properly
