They wouldn't have to shoot it down. Just fly about 100' under it at, say,

400 knots,
hit the burners and head straight up. If the guy doesn't have a heart

attack, and if
the wake turbulence doesn't turn the 150 into a collection of parts flying

a loose
formation, I'd bet junior birdman there would be willing to do absolutely

anything
that fighter pilot wants him to do.


Was a website some years ago by two guys who tried to see how close to Groom
Lake they could get in a Cessna without actually violating airspace. Had
photos. They were buzzed somewhat as you described. :

The other interesting photo was the transponder bulb. It was pegged solid.
He claims they were lit up so hard that it damaged the xpdr, but I don't see
how that's possible unless the bulb just overheated or something.
