I'm surprised that the F-16 could fly SLOW enough to keep abreast of the Cessna.

I'm surprised that the F-16 could fly SLOW enough to keep abreast of the Cessna. I saw an F-18 do a slow speed fly-by when I was at a flight show on the USS George Washington. They are fairly stable down to about 120 Knots. They just put the nose up and the thrust helps to hold up the plane. Might work on the F-16.

That's what I was thinking, too. I'll bet he was flying nose-high with flaps deployed.
