Please see the attached response from my friend that was posted in the original topic on the military forum - he is the pilot who was actually involved. I think it answers the questions of some and corrects the ridiculous assertions of others!
Thanks very much for encouraging your friend to post on this topic.
I've copied his post from the Mil Forum and it now appears above - highlighted so people don't miss it. It certainly helps to put the record straight!
