Unless it is an F-16 1000 feet below you climbing at 16000 fpm

There is no way there is any truth to this. I am, of course, referring to the part where it said ASA landed on time.

I guess the ASA crew got a picture of this.

Had that happen a several years ago flying LAX-FAT in an E-120:

Center called up and asked if we'd mind if a couple of F/A-18s came up from Lemoore and made a mock intercept on us. We said "Go for it."

Never saw them on TCAS, never saw them out the window.

Glad they were on our side.

I can't imagine the circumstances where this would be allowed - at least in today's environment, but maybe you never saw them because they were just joshing with you

Has there been any other news on this ASA incident?
