AIM-54Cs fly in to space

Hi. I noticed that Phoenix missiles have a tendency to fly into space if they miss their target; for instance, in my last mission I was furballing near the CVN-70 and got eventually shot down. I checked the F6 view (to see if my wingman's Kh-41 would hit the carrier) and noticed a couple of AIM-54Cs going ballistic BIG TIME :rolleyes: The fight was 10km from the carrier and max. alt was 2km. How ever, some AIM-54Cs were as far as 150km out and at the altitude of more than 40km!

And oh, other AIM-54Cs climbed too, but I didn't keep looking at them for very long; I guess that they would have gotten to the same altitudes as the first one.

I'll try to replicate this problem sometime, but I'm busy tomorrow, (and hungover after that :D )
