From what the AF has said and say they have tapes to back up there was

I'll believe that when the AF releases the tapes.
Not that I care what you believe but the Platypus driver doesn't have
any tapes to prove what he said. So, given the word of an Air Force
Officer and the word of someone I have no idea who he is I'll go with
the AF.


Being an airforce pilot does not automatically imply honesty when his
ass is on the line.

I never said it did. It does do so more than being unknown guy X. With
many in this group it does seem that being an Air Force officer
automatically implies that he is dishonest.- Hide quoted text -


Well if it never happened the civilian would be risking being
publically discredited and in this case losing his job as an attorney.
Why would any sane person do that? On the other hand a fighter jock
all full of arrogance and macho might well buzz the civilian plane
just to show he's "superior" (you know a top gun alpha male thang).

From my analysis I'd say that without hard data I'd take the civilians
story but not punish the fighter pilot. I would also make sure that
the military understands it does not own airspace.
