Not necessarily when he is thinking of you as an agressor and you know he is thinking of you as an agressor. The TFR thing was still getting the rust knocked off of it at that time, procedurly wise. Seriously, alot of things flash through your head when you get intercepted. 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.

I flew CAP support for a lot of these things as a tanker pilot. All we had to do between refueling the fighters was to listen to the incessant calls from the ground radar folks. This happens a lot more than most people think. You were not a professional pilot when this happened and had minimal experience. A lot of folks with a lot worse skeletons have been hired.

That sucks for you but I wish you had a video of that!!
In all seriousness, When i was instructing at TSTC i had a student who busted the same TFR but he did so prior to attending TSTC. Well he went through the same thing you did, FAA letter and all. However he was working on getting it absolved off his record with Lawyers I believe. He is also still working on his ratings as far as I know. If you go through the proper channels you can get it wiped from your record. You have to go in and admit you screwed up as a Pilot who was in training and that you have learned from that mistake, etc. Its not the end of a career. Dont give up because of that. Good luck.
