I think he may be referring to an incident where a flight of F-4's intercepted a Beech Bonanza and knocked him out of the sky when they overshot him and ripped his tail off with AB turbulence.

That was years ago and I believe that it was off the coast of Florida.

Turns out that the Bonanza was on a flight plan and talking to ATC a complete FUBAR on somebodies part.

That's my guess anyway..
