Surprised you even looked out of the window on the tanker tracks Beagle. Coffee not being served at the time?
Wonder how many other types, various roles, messed up and were at the wrong level or working hard in their sinlge seat fighter and maybe got a little close. Things happen in v busy airspace. Im sure the fighter guys have plenty stories about tankers not being where they should on the ACO too!
Nobody hit to my knowledge so maybe a wee bit of cutting of slack aint a bad thing. Weasel guys saves asses. Cowboyism is a bit harsh.
