F-16 frying hard to keep up (trying to be slow)


I saw it on the news. The F-16 pilot had to be doing at least a 30 degree nose-up..

What I can't figure out is how this dope did not realize where he was. Washington DC is not exactly a nondescript city... ???
 And although a light single could definitely do some damage to the White House and possibly hurt people inside, many may recall this bizarre, ineffective encounter...

Well, they pulled the guy's license.  In reading the details, I have to say he deserved it.
300,000 KM/S - Its not just a good idea, its the law.
