They did not fly formation with the civilian pilot- it is not the normal

The usual intent is to get the other pilot's attention, while the wingman
provides support and maintains visual contact. The civilian pilot has an
equal responsibility to see and avoid, and probably should be even more
attentive in an active MOA.

I submit the difference in airspeed and detection equipment puts the
tin can at a substantial disadvantage. If it's as the thread suggests,
the jet jock was playing games he should not have been. Sometimes USAF
pilots display inappropriate airmanship: this seems to be such a case.
Even good guys make mistakes: excepte me.
