My commercial pilot log shows that in the chaotic days following 9/11
(29 October, 2001) while cruising along in a Cessna 210L at 160 kts.
or so I was intercepted by an F-15 near Miami's Turkey Point nuke
powerplant. However, since I was on an IFR flight plan and talking to
Miami Center, they handed me off to Homestead AFB who gave me
a heads up. "Shark XX" zipped by lickity split about 50-75 yards in
front of me at the same altitude and perpindicular to my flightpath
then disappeared over the Atlantic as quickly as it appeared.

I'll bet that was enough to produce a world class pucker even if you did know
for a second or towo that it was coming!!! (^-^)))

Nah. I wasn't wearing my turban that day so I actually thought it was
cool and wished I could trade in my spamcan for an Eagle.
