Pilot said, “Looking at his speed … I don’t know how fast they were going, but they were very faster than us. I felt that it was the safest job to turn back.”
“So regret about aggressive maneuver. It surprised me,” he continued. “This is not normal at all. I don’t know why they did not give us the head-up, because the air force is radar in the base … The long story is short, it was not fun, but I apologize for it, and thank you for understanding. Not a fun day at work.”
