Maybe your aircraft expertise can explain how an F-16, capable of Mach 1.5, is limited to 400-500 mph when in pursuit of multiple rogue airliners.

JT I do respect you, but please don't play the 'degree' game, as if 4 years of extra education makes anyone a god in their chosen field.

I know college grads who can barely flip a burger.
