Can an F-16 fly slow enough to keep up with a 1941 Piper Cub?

No...There(F-16) stall speed is still way to high to maintain a station on a 60 mph Cub...
It really looks like the government wants to make as big a deal out of this as possible, just to ruin someones life...
I’d like to ruin someones life, but I gotta wait till next year to do it...

A cub cruises at about 90 mph. It would be a tricky proposition to shadow one in an F-16. They. Would more or less orbit it as if it were a stationary object.

Can an F-16 fly slow enough to keep up with a 1941 Piper Cub? For a while by standing up at about a 45 degree angle and adding a LOT of power. It's a stunt that is displayed during most Thunderbird/Blue Angel air shows.
