Hey all here's my entry

How close can you get...

A British Airways flight takes off with a defective front gear with a flock of birds in the way. Someone isn't doing their job very well as a Piper Cub wanders into the airspace trying to avoid a collision with all the heavies and the birds. The photographer is just missed by a few feet when taking this shot.

hey all. i thought this was a great theme and the first thing that came to mind, of course for me is military acrobatics. so i used aerial foundry's blue angels for the shot. i also used the flytampa dubai scenery, and i used fs recorder to take the shot. it took me quite a few tries. enjoy!

Too Heavy!

Nope, cant pick that sub up with this aircraft!

May not be the greatest shot, but I thought it was a rather unique angle! That is a sub in drydock that the Osprey is flying over.

This ERJ is having a close encounter with the ground as it attempts to land with a crosswind during a thunderstorm.

My computer crashed and I'm busy rebuilding my sims....
so something simple from me:
Mosquito's were famous for their raids on treetop level...

Kind of a rough landing I had.


Edit: the gear is literally almost touching the fence, and the front is barely over the fence, not to mention it's at the end of the runway almost into water that can completely fit it in.

I thought it was close
