Sly. I have to agree with you. Many years ago I was involved in a formation of three F111s. Two went down the portside and one the starboard. I filed an airmiss report and it was downgraded to a sighting, because according to the USAF "the airliner rocked its wings, indicating it had seen the formation". Considering that the time between sighting and passing was less than five seconds, how much wing-rocking can the average airliner do?
