LOS issue, I bet.
“Was the F-16 pilot NOT PAYING ATTENTION?”
Same could be said of the Cessna pilot.
Really? I thought you were a pilot, Hulka..
Exactly what was the F-16 doing at Cessna 150 altitudes and how exactly does a Cessna 150 have the visibility and speed to evade a jet fighter? Have any hours at all in a Cessna?
That part of your response puzzled me. You've piloted 172 and maybe 150s so you should know how limited the visibility is in those things. Limited forward in level attitude, pretty good down to the sides, nonexistent upward and aft. I remember only too well having to bank back and forth to see what my wings were hiding while I was transiting areas with high traffic.
The Viper has way better fields of view than an slow-moving, low flying high wing bird. Nonetheless, I am sure they'll blame the dead guy.
Back in the 70s I was taking flying lessons out of what is now the John Wayne airport in CA. Amazing how many times we’d go by another small plane that appeared pilot-less. Many of them do not pay attention to where they are going, what they are doing, and who’s coming at them.
