Extreme Formation Flying!!

Hi there,

Here are a couple shots of Kirk's masterpiece being flown in a manner that would probably cost me my "wings" (or at the very least scare the crap out of the unsuspecting 'ai' pilot) I hope you enjoy.

Thanks
Eric

Excellent shots. Wish I had a system that could do that. I'm still stuck with my lowly 950mhz Duron. Of course, my 1.67ghz Athlon XP 2000 is due to arrive in a few days. Almost twice as fast but no where near thoes Alienwares.

Sweet flying Eric. All three shots are stunning. Nice camera angles. :D

Why can't I get shots like that on my 733mhz system...........

#1 is mind blowing! If it wasn't for the pilot and the incredibly dangerous position the cameraman would have had to be in that could very well be real!

Well done, I like some Modern Military now & again!

Cheers,

Thanks again for the great comments.

Daz, I just hit print screen, but it takes me forever to get the speed matched and under control. I was flying upside down for like 15min before I got #2. Luckily AI planes stay very straight and level!!

Thanks
Eric
