Glenn Spencer's comment: Immediately following this near
mid-air collision I reported the incident to approach control
at Ft. Huachuca. I told them it was an inexcusable act by the
F-16s. In a later phone conversation, the controller said he
had radioed the F-16 pilots and told them he knew who we were.
Despite this we were still pursued. I can only conclude that
someone doesn't like us.

KVIA-TV -- El Paso -- February 11
Civilian
border watcher claims he was harassed by F-16 fighter jets
El Paso -- A pilot working for a civilian illegal immigration watchdog group claims he was recently harassed by a pair of Air Force F-16 fighter jets.
Glenn Spencer said he flew from Fabens to San Diego last month to record the progress that has been made on the border fence when he was confronted by the two fighter jets.
"I thought it was some kind of military maneuver," said Spencer. The dangerous incident happened while he was flying over Douglas, Arizona in his Cessna 206. "[The jet] was less than a 100 feet away, made a sharp bank and then hit its afterburners. I thought I was in a mid-air collision."
