Like how do I keep from having a flare shot over my bow, should I turn slowly to the north or make it quick, should I turn north now or after I switch over to 121.5 and talk to him, am I going to hit his jet wash, how much trouble am I in ect. ect. all in a matter of a minute. Not like an airshow. You actually see him pull up beside you, bobble there for a little bit and zoom around to come back on you afterburners blaring. Im not easily intimidated but that was intimidation.
Thanks to all who have responded to my questions. I guess I thought it was worse than it was given that it doesn't happen to many people. Not to say it wasn't bad but maby it was a good thing so that I don't get the "it can't happen to me" attitude later on, because I know it can.
Fighter pukes live for that kind of thing. Chasing Cessna's away from Bobblehead's ranch is a favorite pasttime. Makes them feel all superior.
You'll be fine. You crossed some invisible line years ago and you owned up to crossing it; convicted and punished. It'll be a good story to tell in an interview.
