    I used to control (FACP) those boys in the whiskey flight areas when I was stationed at Myrtle Beach AFB. Errors happen. they did a lot of 2v2’s and after they got visual and engaged, it was all one big furball on the scope till we called knock it off. It was kinda comical though listening to the pilots talk and pull high g’s at the same time.
