Over the U.S airbase in the Marshall Islands, searching for those pesky MiGs . Aircraft with lights on are about to depart on a training excersise.



Aircraft (+ Tanks) were placed using the recorder module.

but dosent capture the cold war for me

Should have mentioned that all aircraft visible are from the cold war era .

Looks like there was (luckily )

It seems that you put a lot of effort by taking this great shot!
Theres a lot of planes and tanks and wow! even the boats in the back ground! Thats an awesome job you did!

The only black spot for me is that the F-16 seems to be hidden by the horizon, it could be better if we saw the whole plane higher into the blue of the sky.

Anyway I'm impress about the effort you put on this shot! Good luck  ;)

wow what a shot...its got alot of action...good luck

Yes it is a great shot, but the variation of era is what stirs me, f-16's werent with tigercats and f-105s werent with F-18's but

Were those tanks a part of the cold war?

They look like challenger 2s to me and im sure they wern't around then!

OK OK!! stop crying over it and just give the guy a good review on his shot.

pssssst.....Dave
it's out of date 100kb's bit

The UK placed orders for 127 Challenger 2 tanks in 1991

^From Wiki. Cold War ended in 1991, so yes, right at the end

Yes it is a great shot, but the variation of era is what stirs me, f-16's werent with tigercats and f-105s werent with F-18's but  thats just what takes it away from me is the realism factor.

Dont' mean to sound harsh here, but I really don't care.... The theme is cold war jets, and they are all cold war jets

Also, the rules say your aircraft must feature "A COLD WAR JET", there are plenty of cold war jets in this shot, so who says I can't have a little something that isn't from the cold war .

If you think the shot is too unrealistic, then fine, I don't care, I tried to create a shot with a lot of action (hence many aircraft) I did not go for realism, and as far as I am aware, that doesn't brake any rules.

Also, many WWII aircraft fly today with modern aircraft at airshows. Does that variation stir you?

Thanks Waspi

No it doesnt because its says in the NARRATION that it is representing USAF/USN Heritage.

That cheered me up
