If this is the Video of F16s dropping CBUs inside of Danger Close, I've seen it. Smoke is OK as a last resort or during cloudy conditions, but I could not believe how long it took them to break out the mirror and put a "Shiny" onto the A/C!!! Smoke is like tracers, it lets everybody know where you are, whereas a mirror is only seen by your intended recipient!!!

I say this as one that has directed fire from aerial platforms much much closer than "Danger Close"!!!

Take care.
