F-16s buzz ASA?

Here's a video shot a few weeks ago by a guy I fly hang gliders with:

It's a US Navy T-39 buzzing my friend and another pilot over Lookout Mountain outside of Chattanooga, TN.

The T-39 crashed about 100 mi away killing all 4 crew later that week.

I saw a spreadsheet circa 2000 that showed a O-5 who separated at 17 years and went to the "average" major airline would, by age 60, earn more than $1 million *more* in lifetime earnings than the guy who stayed 3 more years until retirement and then went to the majors at age 42.

If his timing were good and he got lucky sure...

But he might just as easily wind up furloughed, on strike, in the right seat for the rest of his career.

You never really know what you're going to get.

You are a perfect example of a total childish idiot, and unfortunately you are using my oxygen. Your post does not reach grade 5 level English, so I conclude that you are also probably a cretin.

How do you know it was the same aircraft?

The guy who shot the video contacted the FSDO in ATL after hearing about the crash. They were very interested in his video and report and during the course of their conversation, the inspector he talked to confirmed that it was the same plane and same pilot.
