Always thought that spending your time standing on an airport and taking pictures of planes is kind of boring, but
this technology may make it a lot more appealing to the mainstream: A swedish company has developed flares (burning stuff ejecting from airplanes as decoys for
shoulder terrorist launched missiles) that could be used by commercial airplanes (without burning everything within a couple of miles from the airport).
The picture to the left shows how it looks when a large airplane ejects flares - and now imagine O'Hare at night (yes, according to wikipedia at least military transport planes eject flares preventatively - (when used in dangerous areas, that is))
