I'd imagine various air forces use similar tactics to fend off shoulder launched missile attacks during takeoff/landing. I just found it amusing that our OP (Original Patriot, to which RC was referring) managed to pick that one image of a foreign plane given the chorus of similar images available of genuine 'murican A/C-130 plumage.

(Like maybe RC's picture was taken just a few frames later in the same flight.) FWIW. It's kinda interesting that neither Tineye nor Goggle's photo search can turn up RC's image elsewhere. It's a mystery! :-) Cheers, Scott.

That'll be $8.50, Mac.
