So the F-22 did something useful?
Say you are intercepted, can you slow-flight the cessna and mess with the jet drivers? I mean, if you are going to pay a fine and lose your license, might as well learn something useful.
You could do that, but it isn't going to buy you anything. A cessna isn't going to shake an Eagle/Viper/Raptor/etc by going slow.
For something like a little dinky 172, I'm surprised they don't scramble something a little more sensible like a King Air.

I figure it's mostly old farts who didn't check the NOTAMs or call a briefer violating the SFRA. Plus, you have to be pretty thick headed not to know you're getting close. They yell at you on the guard frequency.
Also, I don't even want to think about how much it costs to scramble an F-22 to come get me. I'm guessing over 100K.

Like that video of the South American Tucano (I think it was a Tucano) that shot down the drug smugglers.
Yes, but the Super Tucano is still badass.That F'ing snuff film still makes me mad, just thinking about it. Free Enterprise. Avoid foreign entanglements. Riiiiiiggghhhhtt. Kill a guy in an unarmed airplane and feel like a Big Man.
