Now your thinking! You said your in the military you must be familiar with "miles gear" (SP?). How about something like miles gear that when the sensor detects a hit one of those smoke show sticks (these are okay w/ AMA not pyrotechnics like fireworks) goes off and the pilot could bring the plane in, reset it and do it again. It would only marginally satisfy the natural human desire for destruction but the skill involved (challenge) would still make this fun. Now we could have multiple targets even. The downside is, I am not aware of a civilian equivlant to miles gear with a narrow enough beam and the required range.
