I never tire of that story. Growing up in an aviation family, I have heard endless cool stories (but few so cool). One of my favorites was when my grandfather was flying when the F15 was in early flight development. The skies were much less busy, and there was a bit less formality. Ground knew who was where, so it asked my grandfather, “would you like to see something interesting?” GD agreed, and moments later an F15 pulled up alongside him, pointed at an upward angle and maintaining what was a slow flight speed for it. The two pilots were close enough to exchange waves, and moments later the F15 rocketed away. Most likely that day, the F15 was the fastest thing in the air for several hundred miles.
