I used to see them a lot but haven't in a while. While flying with VF-17 last year Bonesaw figured out what we were seeing was some kind of glitch that would appear when somebody opened their kneeboard.

a couple of months back I'd be in the clouds in the ava flying along and suddenly the silhouette of a bomber would show up briefly.  I thought I was going insane until someone else mentioned it.

All I know is I can tell if somebody doesn't play Aces High, their monitors aren't as clean as mine.
