"Was the A-10 that went down last night the one one TV shooting its flares"
I think so. Here's a pic of that A-10 sending flares: ![](http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20030408/capt.1049784930.iraq_us_war_xjd104.jpg)
Then... here is same A-10 upside down before the pilot ejected: ![](http://us.news1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/rids/20030408/i/1049793420.2617679906.jpg)
Thanks for those pics. I thought I saw that plane roll upside-down, but wasn't sure. Luckily the pilot made it out ok.
