In the 80s, F-15s stationed in Germany repeatedly used to lock onto cars racing on our famous German Autobahn (=no speed limits), that fast cars were racing. Think those drivers were lucky!

The base's parking lot was full, so he parked on the missile range! The missile range???

He might missed the "NO PARKING" sign!

How do you explain to the rental agency that their vehicle was shot up by an F-16?

We forgot "at the owner's expense". Why should the Air Force have to pay for strafing an illegally parked vehicle?
