Military cargo plane (Air Force C-130) deploys "angel decoys" to defend against heat-seeking missiles. The pattern formed by the flares is how they got their name.

"If only you'll hold on, just hold on
I'm here and I'm with you
I'm here too, I feel you
We'll get through
I know this, I've seen it
A hundred times, a thousand times
Just one more time
With you and I, I'll pull you close
And then we'll say good bye."
