Splashing the '16's is a no-no! Here, try this: 1. Takeoff, go to full 'burners and waste the MIGS. 2. Come up behind the 16's and pass them with as little difference in speed as possible...get just in front of them. 3. After a few moments you should get the message. Be sure you pass between 'em as close and a close relative-velocity-wise as possible. It may take as much as a minute but then they'll peel off and go home. Lawrence H.
