Uh dude the flame coming out of McStains plane is what set off the HEAT SEEKING missile. :-)
Let me guess. You have never seen the Forrestal’s flight deck video of the rocket firing and hitting the plane next to McCain’s aircraft.
Uh, dimwit, McCain's airplane was across the flight deck from the airplane that accidentally launched the missile with his tailpipe pointed outboard. So unless his plane gave off a flame that was about 120 feet long and did a 170 degree turn then it didn't set off anything.
