If there was a fighter on your 6, why didn't you just deploy
chaff and flares? Ooops...that's another newgroup... :PPP

But one wonders if a bag of flour out
the back might work. We do "ashes" flights, where
remains are scattered over the ocean, and we drop a paper bag
out the window with a string that rips it down the side
as it goes out. It makes a big enough cloud that the
relatives can see it from 2000 feet away.
Hmmm...how to make a "ready deploy" system...

Just another crazy thought...I'm not so enthralled with
S-turning and increasing my impact signature...but
perhaps that ain't a bad idea either...
