Wonder what a Cessna 150 would look like after it got nailed by a Sidewinder.

Ever done turning work on a metal lathe an got a shaving in you finger? That's about the biggest piece you'd find.

You've seen the confetti they throw off buildings in NYC during parades? Exactly like that. (with the possible exception of the engine block...)

I don't think the Cessna has a large enough heat signature to be seen by a sidewinder.

As for stopping it, all that would be needed would be a close proximity fly by w/afterburners and the Cessna would certainly go inverted before it was destroyed by blast turbulence and wake effect.

As far as not knowing where he was, that is a crock.

I wonder how far the F-16 would have had to have stood off in order to take the shot? F-16s are notoriously bad at slow flight. Also, I wonder if the media would have covered the casualities on the ground since three miles north of the White House is about Georgia Avenue (those who know DC understand).
