So, what's the problem? A GA pilot gets a once-in-a-lifetime chance to
fly formation with an F-16 and instead of grabbing the opportunity, he
files a complaint. Jeeeez!

Subject: RVSouthEast-List: OT: Flying through an active MOA
AOPA has obtained a video of the radar return and radio calls for the
March 21 incident in which an F-16 pilot flew in close formation with
the unsuspecting pilots of a Pilatus PC-12 and a Beechcraft Premier jet
flying through an active military operations area (MOA) in Arizona.
The pilots took aggressive maneuvers to try to prevent a midair.
The F-16 pilot, based out of Luke Air Force Base, was reprimanded.
