I may be a child of the '60's, but I clearly recall the event.
The fighter jocks kept coming up under us inverted, and asking for gas.
They had a sense of humor--bored,too.
Maybe you have poor aircraft recognition? An F-14 could be mistaken for an F-15.

Another issue I have with the story is, I've personally seen and have had drogues in trail upon landing. The damage, other than some scraping, is kind of minor. I can't imagine why the drogue would be "half-round".
