Unless the fighter jocks start strafing limos, Dirty Dick's in no danger. Perhaps they can have another ammo releasing malfunction on the way to the shooting range......... |

"Big John" wrote in message ... Never heard of F-16"s carrying flares. Anyone able to tell how? Last fighter I flew with flares was the P-51. It had a flare pistol that could be locked into a port by your left hip and was pointed back about 45 degrees so that when you fired the flare it would miss the wing. Flares are commonly carried as a countermeasure to IR missiles and discharged from a flare dispenser. |
