Well, don't have time for a long narrative, but I'd just like to say 
while I'm about 970 hours shy of your time in the Lancair, I totally 
concur.  Evidence last night....letting down into the Phoenix area 
(DVT) it was very dark, but I checked on with Luke (AFB) approach.  
"122LL, roger, traffic 11 o'clock, 3 miles, 2 F-16's at your altitude." 
  "Rog, 2LL is tally two"....who could miss the strobes on a moonless 
night!  A little later, "122LL, additional traffic 3 o'clock, less than 
a mile, 4000, suggest you maintain 4500."  "2LL, rog, tally two more, 
wilco"  Two F-16's in trail just parked off my left wing....the Legacy 
was keeping right with them!  200KIAS and along we went for about 7 
miles.  Hard to judge night distance, but they were easily inside of 
1/2 mile just parked there.  I'm betting they were scratching their 
heads when the controller called me a "light civil"....
