WTF is a trombloid?? If theres one thing I hate about the internet, no not interwebs dumb asses, its when prepubescent punks make up stupid ass words to feel cool. You’re arguing on how to spell a word that doesnt even exist! Heres a word for you – pathetic
the purpose is the same for the various flares…to confuse incoming missiles whether they are SAMs’ or AAs’…if they are heat seeking missiles then the flares are usually slow burning but with high temp to dwarf the infrared signature of the plane…others are usually small tin or aluminium fragments sometimes in honeycomb shape to confuse laser guided ones….again what this does is generate a larger overall surface area that the missile picks ups and considers the plane insignificant
Uh, sure. We used to refer to those pieces of tin foil as ‘chaff’ instead of ‘flares’. But like i said, it’s been a long time. Maybe they don’t differentiate anymore.
The flares are counter measures for AA fire. Often thought of as “Angels of Death” the AC-130′s got the name from the smoke trails from their flares looking like angels wings.
goddamned enviromentalist idiot. first off, i seem to remember something about not being able to create or destroy matter. you can only convert to energy with biproducts, in this instance the conversion is seen as white heat with the biproduct of smoke, or C02. now lets suspend our disbelief long enough to imagine that there are measures in place ( for this exersize we will call them plants) that acually need C02 to live.
secondly, naturaul oxygen saturation in air is about 20.5% most of air is comosed of nitrogen, with thank god, we all amitt.
thirdly, you make no mention of the fossil fuel the plane is burning. by that logic its ok to fly a 61 ton air craft just as long as they dont burn flaires right?
in short, you remind me of that idiot holding that sign that says “Who needs gas? I ride the bus.”
I met the bus idiot. While drinking coffee and eating a banana he rants that the US does
not need imports and can produce everything we want.
Also, I am thinking the slow burning type flares, particular the parachute type, do a heckuva
job illuminating a battlefield.

first!
some of those are helicopters = fail
I knew some twat would have to point that out,the “first” twat and all! You’re a fucking trombloid!
I think you are insulting Tromboloids everywhere….
You are correct sir! You’re a trombloid also…there is no second o in trombloid…
Wadda you know,im a trombloid too,there is a second o….just not a third one
Are you trying to be ironic? If not, look at the word again and count the o’s
Uh, can you delete these posts? I seem to be a trombloid as well.

Joey is a very big trombloid,he should have a trombloid tattoo on his forehead…trombloid
Lloyd plays a trombone?
I was on the C-17 leading the ones in pics 2 and 10 … shot over Eglin AFB in florida in 1993/1994 … bad ass plane … miss working on it …
So….what’s the purpose of the flares?
I believe they’re used to throw off incoming heat seeking missiles. But i am basing this on Modern Warfare 2.
“ENEMY AC130 IN THE AIR!”
Yeah, that’s exactly right. I don’t know if they’re used for anything else now. It’s been a long time.

AC-130 is above
that’s wicked awesome.
…the AF is totally missing the opportunity to add some red and blue smoke in the mix, how facking cool would that be?!
America……Fuck Yeah!
Said in your best Sean Connery voice, “Releash the counter-meashures, pleash.”
they destroy ozone layer for amusement of some people who enjoys this kind of show for 10 minutes and air is destroyed for ever

BTW, trombloid appears to be a real word meaning total waste of space, idiot, useful only
for providing CO2 to the plants.
