It may be obvious, but that's a demonstration of the airplanes anti-aircraft defense system. The flares act to fool oncoming heat seeking missles. But probably the DoD is paying outlandish sums for custom spec'd flares.

Yeah, I was trying to sound funny - I've played enough flight sims to know what to use flares for.

How about "What's this button do" or "Please do not press this button"
Perhaps we could have a "Caption Off"

Flares may be $8 at Wal-Mart, but seeing as how the Military likes to spend $100 Dollars per toilet seat, and roughly $50 for a hammer. I'd say it puts their flares over 10 times Wally Worlds price... You know I think I have some tissues I can sell to the Millitary, I'd be turning a 50 cent profit on each one.
