I know Lockheed and quite a few demo teams use Smokewinders for their demo flights. Just to be curious can anyone tell me more about these things? Is it a one time use item that needs replacing after each flight or can they be turned on and off? What's the burn length? Are they fired the same way one would fire a real Sidewinder? Question

Anything you'd care to share would be great. Thanks y'all! Smile
