Never did have to bring anyone out of the ADIZ. The German light aviation pilots would lose their ticket if they were intercepted heading East. The cost of the QRA lauch could be quite daunting.

Bringing an F4 alongside Cessna 150 doing 100 kts with everything dangling was also a challenge. The pictures tended to be a tad blurred. Even finding a 100 kt target on radar kept you on your toes. 200kts minimum even if you trimmed everything to minimums - and that was pushing it. Of course I meant 250 kts...................
