PLZ do not get carried away about an old fighter pilot's "save". Did more than that one in the Viper and other jets, BTW.

I referenced the incident because in the video when tower advises me about traffic you will soon see a box on left side of HUD with an "x". That was when I hit the dogfight switch and then depressed the cursor control on the throttle and slewed left. The radar locked on to the C-141 and I saw it visually and then told tower.

My point is that the Viper pilot had a lot more going for him than the Cessna.

Whole thing bugs me, and it should not have happened.
