FRIDAY SURPRISE: Angel wings.

Aircraft, as you may have heard, are vulnerable to missiles. Whether launched from the ground or another aircraft, even a small missile can easily down the largest plane. One of the few defenses to an incoming missile is the dispensing of chaff (small metallic particles/strips) and flares, both of which are intended to fool the navigation systems that guide missiles to their prey.

What's odd is how pretty those countermeasures can be.

Even odder, this pic - along with many others - can be found at a site called Environmental Graffiti.
