The aircraft is the FSX free download of the Fairchild C-123, Air America.
Scenery is FSX default Congo.

Thanks for looking. Cheers, Mike

It's a great shot Mike, almost looks real. :)
I just can't figure out how it could get in that exact location/position without trees/wings being sheared off, unless dropped from a Sky Crane.

It is a great shot - probably the super secret inflatable 123.

by the looks of it, it crashed many many years ago, and the jungle just grew up around it...

nice capture

Thanks guys for the feedback.
I have discovered a memo about this mission. I am still not sure what the final goal was for this mission. Only the flight kits for each captain would tell the whole story. We can only imagine what these seven special aircraft were to accomplish. The Congo was in turmoil during this time period. Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks for looking. Cheers, Mike ;)
