f16 intercepting supercub?

[little pat]

I really hope you can see this...I was taking the AOPA course navigating saw the following clip. Do I have to get in formation with the F16? HA!

Looks like a Scout. Those guys are always getting into trouble.
Intercepting a cub with an F16 would be like flying formation with a fencepost.

However, all things are possible. In 1978 or 79 I watched on my radar scope and a few minutes later with my Mk I calibrated eyeballs as two F-4s intercepted and flew along with a Cessna fish spotter aircraft that had busted the ADIZ off Key West. They stuck with the guy -- one behind, one beside him all the way to short final at Key West International before sucking up gear, flaps, etc and blasting off like a couple of rockets for parts unknown. I was less than impressed a quarter of a century later when F-16s and F-15s blasted around my neighborhood at tree top level looking for an errant GA aircraft that had set off the alarms over the National Capital Region. This happened a couple of times and as far as I know, they never spotted the guys, but they sure scared the hooey outa me.
