Forward looking InfraRed (FLIR) is amazing. When I was training as a Aerial Sensor Specialist/Navigator At United States Army Intelligence Center and School (USAICS) Ft Huachuca, AZ in 1978 our Grumman OV-1D Mohawk airplanes had downward looking InfraRed. You could see things where you had just been. One day a blue and white OV-1C was parked on the ramp. It was a US Customs aircraft equipped with FLIR. They could follow a suspected lights out drug smuggling aircraft up to a mile away from their exhaust heat with the OV-1s lights out, determine which landing strip they were headed for and have a Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) welcoming party transported in motor vehicles (car related) waiting for them. Amazing technology in 1978.
Did Eddie the Eagle end up teaching NRA childrenās firearm safety courses?
