Thanks. Nothing says no military.

I'll help you out with the scenery as soon as I have a chance.

I wen't to elmendorf one summer for vacation with my buddy who flies for the USAF and i remember they had to scramble to intercept a tu-160, it looked just like that (i got to sit in the front seat of the F-15 since it was not actually a combat mission and we were expecting no russian fighters)

The front seat is where the pilot sits.

Good work Brandon. Which Viper is that .. looks like a Swedish camo :-?

We would like to ask the Author of each screenshot, to please supply us with the name & designer of the Aircraft in your post. So many people always ask "what aircraft is that", and We think it would be very informative for many of us if it were right there under the shot!

I believe it's the model by Kirk Olsson available here on SimV.

Thanks for the compliment.

Oh come on!!!  Ya never heard about the roque 16 driver that had to be decisively dispatched by another with a civie in the backseat? :P

OOPS!  I've said too much! :-X

That was classified information.......I apologize for having to kill ya! :'(

Twas declared a draw though when they both ran out of Sidewinders and bingo'd their fuel. ::)

It still makes me wonder how a Canuck gets a ride with a "buddy" while on vacation......then even gets close to the flightline red zone.....reckon it's just one of the things that makes ya say hmmmmmm! :o

Nice shot.  During my EDF days the official refueling tanker was the KC97 and the resident fighter was the F94.  Your picture evoked some memories though the trees have grown since my time.
