I bet that fella in the Cessna just about messed his pants when he finally noticed his fighter “escort”. I’m afraid I would have been lookin’ for my parachute!
Surely, it was a mistake. I can’t imagine anyone, intentionally, matching a Cessna against modern fighter jets! But, on the other hand, there are nutters out there that will try anything!

Remember the nutter that flew a small plane into the White House or the kid in Floriduh (Tampa?) who flew into a building. There was also the moron who flew his plane into his ex-wife’s house.

"...just about messed his pants when he finally noticed his fighter “escort”. Reminds me of the time I was monitoring the Lake Tahoe airport tower frequency. A PSA airliner (Lockheed Electra) had just made a terrible landing in gusty wind conditions. The tower transmitted, "Captain, bet you guys want directions to the nearest laundry after that.
After a few moments the captain replied, "we talked it over and would like directions to the nearest clothing store, instead!" True Story.
