How quickly the F-15's assembled themselves and caught up with him was very impressive... that alone is the story in itself. What's not impressive is that this man and his arrogant "prank" endangered other people's lives and maybe the livelihood of fellow coworkers whose trust he possibly abused to gain access to the cockpit. Those pilots who were following behind him we're not there for a free thrill ride. They were probably were sent out so quickly with the thought it could've been a domestic terror threat.
