The WC-135 crew characterized the intercept as unprofessional “due to the maneuvers by the Chinese pilot, as well as the speeds and proximity of both aircraft,” Hodge said.

Go back to your own fork, Hexbear propagandist.
Uh yeah, pilots are famously shy and generally don’t like it when other planes fly near them without asking
