Catchin the Three Wire Against Flurries...

Jet: Dino's F-14D
Carrier: Javier's Nimitz


As you may know, the "Top Gun" intro was shot in the last few minutes of real-life carrier availability with the sun backlighting flight ops.  You can kind of see why here...

Hope nobody missed this.

In hindsight I should have programmed in heavier snow but figured the carrier deck wouldn't retain snow accumulation.  Or perhaps I could have shown Dino's jet vaping & banking underneath some snow...

Thanks.  I'd recommend seeing what the pros like Lyle Jansma & Erik Hildebrandt do w/ real aircraft.  In fact, I got Erik's Fly Navy for Christmas - which is on Amazon.com!  Pricey but sure gave me some ideas...

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
