An Israeli F-16 warplane fires missiles during an air strike on Nabatiyeh in southern Lebanon, August 2, 2006. (LEBANON)
That's not an F16 shooting missles, it's an F16 dropping flares, chaff, and AAA counter measure designed to mask the planes signature.

What a jerk. Missiles go ahead of the plane.

I think they are countermeasures as well... but if you look closer, the smoke trails have some elements which are exact copies.

I saw this photo and did a doubletake. Eerily reminiscent of an event I'll never forget of just a few short years ago. Second photo, anybody recognize it?

Like during the hysteria about Y2K and the "experts(???)" in the "drive-by" L.S.M.said that all seagoing shipping would come to screeching halt! As a former seafarer; ROFLMAO!!
