Depends on how far up fast you go. Reaching space doesn’t mean you can stay there. You need orbital velocity.

The military doesn’t like airspace violations much…

Doesn’t really matter which country.

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.

Even if I knew the jets were exercising, I’d still be making diamonds.

I feel like this is the type of thing where as a passenger you’d be having the time of your life but the pilot? Shaved 10 years off lol.

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

Holy shit. Yeah, he’s incredibly lucky to not be a pink mist. Still did 14months of a 4 year sentence in a labour camp though.
