the faux-RAF F-35B and its formation-mates are intercepted by Typhoons
Not sure about that Lo.
The trouble with intercepting a hot air balloon when one is in a fast jet is that you don’t have long to make the correct international hand signals when passing by at 2.something miles a minute.
As an interceptor you need to be in a better hot air balloon. But we gave all ours away some time ago.
