A few nights into Desert Storm at 0300 was escorting a strike into Basrah. Lights off and no one really had NVGs back then. Another jet passed so close to us the canopy jumped in its rails. No clue who it was, no call from the E-2 about traffic friendly or enemy. I figure we came less than 6 feet of being a couple greasy blotches in the night sky.

Other times but that was still the one that sticks with me as I never would have known what hit us just would have been disintegrated in a fraction of a second.
