People drive way too fast, run red lights and stop signs every day.

Yet the bodies don't seem to be piling up anywhere.

Most of the bodies are the bodies of people who take these foolish risks.
It's natural selection at work.


Then how to you explain your miserable existence? You're a total moron.

Oh the horror, oh the bodies strewn everywhere you look!

Blah, blah, blah; more pontificating nonsense from the terrified of life,
jobless loser hiding in his hovel looking to justify his retched existance.

One doesn't see them piled up in a single location, but tens of thousands of
people die through recklessness every year. Those who refuse to learn from
this reality often become a victim of it.

Another recklessly moronic post by Anthony, certified internet asshole.

Oh the horror!! Bodies scattered everywhere!!!

Yet more meaningless pontification from the poster boy for agraphobia.

Do all F-16's now have VHF radios? At a Wings safety seminar sevaral
years ago I was told that most only have UHF and thus can't directly
communicate with GA aircraft.
If they cannot communicate with GA aircraft, that's all the more
reason not to harass GA aircraft.


Your a ****ing moron


While I agree that Anthony is a ****ing moron. He is right in this case.

They did not fly formation with the civilian pilot- it is not the normal
intercept procedure, and the differences in airspeed make it difficult.

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'm hardly a military basher but in this case the civilian pilot did try
to see an avoid and that is what caused the problem. He was listening to
his TCAS and doing what it said. The F16 pilot should have realized this
when the civilian started maneuvering and broken off the intercept.

It seems the USAF agrees with this and hence are spanking the F16 pilot
and changing training methods.

The pilot may well have made a bad decision- however, it is highly unlikely
that they were flying in formation with the civilian plane. As far as I
know, both pilots have an equal responsibility for see and avoid.




At first I thought this was all a case of a civilian pilot overreacting.
After listening to the audio and watching the radar video I've come to
the decsicion and has the USAF that the F-16 pilot screwed up.

To say a civilian pilot that is intercepted from the rear by a radar
carrying F-16 has the same see and avoid responsibility is absurd.
Though in this case the civilian did try to avoid (via TCAS) and F-16
wouldn't let it.

Let's all remember that the first guy that got bounced kept his mouth
shut until the second one, a lawyer, complained and said that he wanted
to file a complaint. Only then did the first pilot meekly chimed in that
he would also like to file a complaint.

If it wasn't for the people in the military, we wouldn't even have the
privilage or right to even be in the sky.

As long as there isn't a mid-air, fly the airplane and shut up.

Bull ****. Then I suppose you won't mind if the Army sends a squad out
to do target practice with M-16s in your back yard as long as they don't
hit your house.
