Maybe not. My guess is illegal and maybe a drug deal gone bad or a prostitution act interrupted

What is surprising is have far into Lemoore the car managed to get

Man, they must’ve been flyin’....

I hope the F-18 landed safely.

They’d have never hit the A-7s I used to guard at a small ANG base. I’d have lit them up with my M-16.

F18 Hornet takes out Jeep, but I bet the Jeep would have kicked the new F35s butt.

Another car vs fighter accident springs to mind:

Eglin AFB November 5, 1999.

F18 Hornet takes out Jeep
= = = = = = = = = = = = =
Will the ‘team’ paint a jeep on the ‘kill list’?

Sort of like the Sub whose torpedo went awry and took out a train or a truck or two.
I know - it was a movie BUT something along that line did happen - maybe took something out with deck gun??

I don’t think that’s a photo of NAS Lemoore in the linked article. Therefore, I call BS, aka April Fools.

I don't think it is, either. The jets pictured are Air Force fighters, F-15s and F-16s with one solitary F-18 in the bunch.

I count 3 Hornets on the left side, 2 on the near row and one on the far. I believe the one taxiing is a 16 with the remainder being Eagles. And one lone Herc on the far end...
