It happened to a friend (with a pilot license I precise).

He was flying a small two seat aircraft and got contacted through the radio and for asked if he was ok to do a exercice with military aircraft.

He agreed so soon after two fighter jet arrived on his left and right. To be able to fly at the same speed as him they were almost standing vertically. They directed him for a bit without any radio contact, then thanked him through the radio and left.

They were doing a exercise to direct someone with no radio contact.

I'm reminded of Mathias Rust. The guy is very lucky he wasn't shot down.

That's what "©" means. In most states you are by natural law not allowed to be faster than the speed of light

in reality I think ATC will just wait 2 hours for you to run out of fuel and notify the local police for wherever you land

if you're headed towards the pentagon though they'll probably shoot you down

Where do you live that you need a permit to paddleboard?

yep. got a warning once for not having purchased a permit on my paddle board.

depends on how far up you go

Not with that mindset

If a cop managed shoot the gas tank on a flying plane, I wouldn't even be mad if I died in that crash

Yes, because nobody can make a thing that stabs the already volatile battery or anything like that...

I hear pit maneuvers on aircraft are a little more aggressive than a car.

“ According to 49 U.S. Code § 46317, you cannot fly, or attempt to fly, an aircraft without the proper licensure. The penalty for violating this code can be substantial, with a maximum punishment of 3 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.”

That’s a lot worse than getting pulled over with no driver’s license.
