Close encounter with Chinese jet



            On Shane’s first mission being mission leader, two Chinese f-8 11 Finbacks came up and dogged them. One in the back, the other on the left making sure they stayed out of Chinese air space even though they were in international airspace. They came in close to 30 feet of them which is dangerously close for two airplanes. Shane ordered some of his crew members to take pictures and notes of it so they could show it to the Navy so they could tell China. The United States had already sent a letter to the Chinese military but apparently the pilots didn’t get the message. Thankfully after about 30 minutes, they left.
