F-16 playing with a Lear Jet.. Cool Video!

An almost friendly encounter. If it wasn't there wouldn't be a video. Unbelievable is the power of an F-16.

Correct. "Did you receive/Are you receiving radio transmission- acknowledge by dipping wing(s)".

Personally, I wouldn't have gotten that much footage. Once I saw the ext. fuel tanks and the Sidewinders, I would have been in the bathroom crapping like a confetti cannon.

Anyone recognize the squadron insignia on the F-16? Looks a little like the Screaming Eagles, but I believe that's an F-15 crew.

The Lear is registered to a company out of Portland, OR.
 
Probably flew thru an active MOA/SOA. Ruined training for them when they owned the area. Can't start the engagement until the plane is out of there. Seen it many times. Plan for a few weeks, have several squadrons involved, and a civilian doesn't check the NOTAMS or bother calling Center and thus flies thru an active area. Probably costing tax payers several hundred thousands dollars of gas and materials.
