Yikes. Not much left of the Cessna, I’d guess.

I’d venture to guess that 99% of the time the Cessna is going to lose that battle.

This is like a Mustang 5.0 hitting a scooter.
Was the F-16 pilot NOT PAYING ATTENTION?

Authorities from the base said it was gathering a team of investigators to determine what happened.Just off hand, I'd say that the pilots of both crafts attempted to occupy the same space, which didn't work out so well for either. Investigation complete!

I’d hate to see the Cessna pilot’s insurance bill once they settle up on the lost F-16.

Ironically, a Cessna is lovingly called a ‘bug smasher’.

2nd story I have seen today about this incident and still nothing on the Cessna 152 occupant(s). I guess they are still looking for them.
To: BenLurkin
Cessna may have been in restricted airspace. One report I heard was that jets from the nearby air base train in that area which usually means that private/commercial traffic is restricted during set training times.

I was under the impression that an F16 had the ability to lock on to enemy aircraft in any weather condition, otherwise how could they make intercepts in instrument conditions or night time with no lights, etc.?
So I also was under the impression that this same equipment would give them the ability to avoid aircraft they wish to avoid, whether enemy or civilian.
Would a real fighter pilot shed light on this topic?
My medical aged out long ago, but I am nevertheless curious..
I flew into a little airport (Sumter) adjacent to Shaw many many times over a 40 year period and in and out of Charleston many times.
I always did both on an IFR plan no matter what the weather. Those hot rods made me nervous. and I wanted all the help I could get.
