That was back in 84-86 it would definitely be done now by the 'C' model or a Raptor that's if there hasn't been some major advancement in space based weaponry which we can all say there most surely has. :)

Many thanks a1 and Chrism. The missile is the gmax cruise missile which I have distorted/resized and added a slight perspective too. It was done with fsrecorder m8.
