Thought you guys might like this picture I took from the copilot's seat of a P3. Notice the F18 running for cover from the, how did you put it Matt, "lumbering" P3? All in all, a fun join up by the F18, he was practically our 5th engine there for awhile, almost welded to the wing.

Matt, well there is always the dirty trick of dropping manuever flaps and slowing to 160!! But, hey, that would just be plain, not cool, unless it was a chinese fighter or something . Actually, we were cruising at 200, we had the #1 engine loitered, and he pulled in tight on the port side at first. Thought he was going to drive the damn blade into his canopy, he was so close under the wing. He then popped under and back up on my side. He then left us, shot ahead, and as you can see in the pic, started shooting flares, he pulled straight up and did a roll right over us. Thank god we had autopilot on, damn near the whole crew was in the flight station gawking... cough...
