Hercs Over Alcatraz

[GoingBoeingPA]

OK, maybe Hercs just past Alcatraz, visiting from Denmark. Viewed by a lucky spectator in a boat, inspired by actual photo of The Blue Angel's "Fat Albert" performing similar flyby for some lucky boaters (photo can be found at Airliners.net) and by other low pass images of C-130's.


The aircraft is the Royal Danish Air Force C-130 by Claus Vendelboe Holmberg found here: http://www.simviation.com/fs2004military125.htm

A great aircraft, great paint, great sound, fun to fly, and with a surprise when you open the ramp in flight.

Good luck to everyone, there's some really nice shots in this contest.

looks nice. since you are on FS2004, may i reccomend getting 'XtraWater'  its a good 'reflective' water set... i think it would make this look even better in the future

the planes look clean, the sky is nice and its a good perspective


best of luck

Thanks for your compliments! I will try that water texture as soon as I can - currently in school and working full time.

I was briefly using FSX but removed it and went back to FS2004. It didn't run well for me and the solutions involved jumping through a lot of hoops...plus buying another video card.

This contest was the first time I used Recorder - what a great addon!! It was actually fun to try to keep up with the other C-130 and I recommend that everyone try it out.

Very nice!  Hercs are terrific!  The sky, as said before, looks great too, I like the color
