Wow! 2 Apache aircrafts against a Piper Warrior. Must be the name "Warrior" that scrambled the 2 Apaches up. They must have been in full combat alert in case the Piper Warrior is armed with nuclear warheads. The blip on their defence radar must have showed up a tiny aircraft flying at such a speed that was rather threatening (100 kts perhaps?).

[quote=minibus330] Nehz not so easy to stall... Been to the airshow where the black knights did the "low and slow"? The other fighters on display also did that.
And AFAIK if the plane intercepted cannot keep up, the intercepting jets will circle around the plane. Source: CAA Aviation Safety leaflet

... No hard feelings yeah? 
Sorry if I came across too strongly.
