How would you like to be buzzing along in your Cessna 172, looking for your cattle herd, when a B-1 blasts past you?

Or a Piper Tomahawk.

Couldn’t even keep up with a Huey going into Hartford CT...

That would be cool!

If it passed close by the Cessna, the wing vortices from the B-1 would cause the Cessna to flop around like a feather in a tornado.

And even if the Cessna pilot could see the B-1 coming, how does a snail avoid an elephant charge? Surely an “oh shiite” moment.
