The Flaming Aerial Chariot

How F*cking Cool is This?!
A friend forwarded me an email going around the net that actually struck me as intersting! The pictures contained photos of a military jet performing excercises using their flares to repel heat seeking missiles. While the manuever sounds boring, look at the pictures of what this looks like:

Angel Decoy

Photos of an Air Force C-130 releasing flares to repel heat seeking
missiles. The pattern formed by these “decoys” are how they got their
name…

It’s truly awesome!

Because maneuvers are usually in remote areas and over water, the general
public does not get to see these exercises
