A bit of the old 'weird signals making your speakerphone make rhythmic chiming noises" was caught there, blast from the past

When I first found out about the Angel of Death, I thought those were missiles and I was blown away.

[MrEmerchua]

there arent flares beneath the main body of the plane?

[teddypeterson]

IDK guys, I thought they were anti-gun flares

[noob.exe.]

Fact the sam missile will target some f18 but if it flares the sam missile will not go to the flares cuz the radar is controlling it
