Yes, persons without IR goggles can't see the PEQ-2 in IR mode. I don't recall if it has the visible red laser mode too.

As Targ and ArmySGT pointed out, the tankers with Thermal Sights can spot the plumes. Does this even apply in daylight?

Thanks so far, as usual very good info!
Yes, it is the heat mirage. Like the distortion you see as heat comes off hot asphalt. Kinda like smoke.
