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

sailplane pilot lost 3 feet of wingtip, and an aileron hinge into a Marine Harrier while out ridge soaring in SoCal. Both aircraft barely made it home.

Marine base sent a $100,000.00 bill to Chip later.

Bill went into the trash can immediately (FedGov is self-insured).

See and be seen doesn’t always work when there is disparate speed involved.
