F-16 stall speed?
Could've been a factor...

A/B wake turbulence? Are you trying to say Afterburner wake turbulence or did you mean to say A/C wake turbulence - as in Aircraft?
Regardless of the kind of wake turbulence - accidental wake turbulence on who's part?
Sorry I'm not getting it here; but I'm just trying to understand where your concern lies.

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..

The airflow around two different aircraft can certainly be a problem - especially when talking about aircraft of vastly different capabilities.
There was a Class A mishap with two fatalities when a T-34C tried to take a look at an F-14's gear after the TomCat reported a gear problem when he lowerd his gear at NAS Corpus Christi back in '91.
The T-34 IP was a former F-14 guy I heard and he had a Marine SNA with him. He offered up a visual inspection. The T-34 just got to close and WHAM! - sucked right up into the F-14 (at least that is what the SIR came up with)
Well....I can't imagine, unless for some REALLY close observation, that there would be any reason to be getting very close to the other aircraft
