    You're far too young to have seen it at the time but during the early days of GW1, there was a live news report on UK TV from a reporter in Kuwait standing on an apartment balcony one evening just as the sun was going down & a cruise missile came down the street at tree-top level behind him. mid broadcast. Remember, this was in the days before the internet & 24 rolling news so we were all amazed by it.

    Hundreds of hours on night vision while flying and I can say it is close but not quite right. Still pretty good for a sim though. You can also only focus them for outside the cockpit so everthing inside is blurry. You litteraly look under your NVG's at the gauges.

I think they were even cleared to fire on civilian aircraft if they deemed necessary. Just goes to show the shock that came with the attacks.
