I noticed the reporter classed the Cessna 421 as a jet:

“They were able to locate and fly alongside the jet...”

Given this I’m surprised the reporter didn’t call it a Glock.

Interesting that the Air Force requires pilots to wear blood oxygen sensors with REALLY LOUD ALARMS now days.

I found it amusing that the FIRST line of the story had an obvious error in it, stating that the plane was repeatedly flying in “loops.”

Um. No.

Aerobatics: loops are vertical ‘circles’, not horizontal circles.

The plane was trimmed up and pretty much balanced, and just flew in a natural p-factor circle. Maybe unequal fuel weight contributed to the turns too. Dunno.
