[C210N]

The fighters, on station to enforce the TFR, intercepted the first aircraft, a Cessna 210

Nice plane the guy has, if I do say so myself.

A 210 is not a slow aircraft, with 275 horses... but still, I've always wondered how an F-16 can intercept any small GA aircraft, slowing up enough to greet the errant pilot without stalling.

[Errant]

I've always wondered how an F-16 can intercept any small GA aircraft, slowing up enough to greet the errant pilot without stalling.

I'm pretty sure a F-16 can get to or a little below 100 kts. A speed well below the cruise of a C210 which is almost twice that. Any modern fighter could easily orbit any propeller driven GA aircraft horizontally or vertically!
