F18s vs Cessna 172

Get this.. one of my classmates was on her progress check. She was stabilized on the ILS about 5DME finals at 80knots. Then she can hear on the radio that about 3 F18s were behind her and also about land at the same runway and another batch were holding short on the runway.

Since C172 was to slow for those F18s, she made the 3 F18s initiate go around. (as she can hear on the radio)... and she and the instructor can see the planes both on their port and starboard side! How cool that can be? And imagine the feeling of the instructor!

I also have my own experience.. as i have touchdown and rolled out on RWY02R, the tower called for me to expedite my exit because two C130s were about to take off! When i exited the runway for stop and go, i held short runway 02R on Fox 5 while watched the two C130s take off! A sight for sore eyes! Im done with my Core flying and it was a nice and memorable way of finishing it!
