Narrative:
Departed mustang airport on the island and climbed to 9500 ft paralleling the coast approximately 2 mi off the coast when I was intercepted by 2 military jets who made about 5 passes each at a very close range (100 ft). I had to do hard rolls away from them to avoid the jet wash. I was unable to contact them on any available frequency. There is no question of me being in the ADIZ, and my map (current) shows nothing.
