In my whole career I was never in the air when a missile locked on us except once; on a C-130 flying into Tuzla, Bosnia on a flight from Ramstein. All I was doing was going to teach computer security to the Intel staff of IFOR.

When the anti-missile device started wailing, the pilot dropped the bird like a stone. I think I went weightless for a second. I thought we were crashing. Scariest moment in my life. And then I noticed the crew looking at us passengers (me and a captain) with shit-eatin’ grins. (Lucky we were wearing BDUs to hide the wet spots). Bastages!
