Hey SimV!!!
I did a mission last night well half of the mission i had to escort a C-17 Globe Master from RCYU to ZSPD with my flight leader callsign Viper1 (I was Viper2) we flew F/A-18 Super Hornets. Anyway i forgot to download ther C17 so i escorted a TU-95 ;D

The formationw as held for around 2 hours!!! :) I have gotten really good at it :) and we arrived at ZSPD safley and need to escort the C-17 back to RCYU because it is now holding prisoners.

Looks really nice and that Bear makes the shot really interesting to look at, rather than a C-17.
But why are you called Viper One and Viper Two, while flying Hornets?

Just callsigns ;D Being called Hornet1 and Hornet2 is too long so we just amde it Vipers 1 & 2. it was really fun though cuz there was a guy on the runway and i had to get him off it felt so realistic!

lol cool  but the way I see it there was no absolute formation.  Your back, your forward, your right on him,  little lose to me. Try flying an F-18 in the space between a 747's tail and wing for 3 hours.   Thats hard to do.  ;D 8-) :P


Nice pics and I really like the Tu in instead of the C-17  ;)

:o, I like the 4th one. If you'd used a F-4 this shot would have been a real cold war classic.

Great set, I'm poor at formation flying...,

Cheers,
Fabian
