mutley 4,498 Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 What we would like to see is your interpretation of an iconic aircraft. It could be for example, the Wright Brothers Flyer, or the B52 Buff or perhaps Boeing's Jumbo Jet! If you want to make a poster type image then we will allow editing to allow your creative juices to run wild! So fairly open then, we're looking forward to your shots, the competition ends midnight Mon 31st Jan 2011. Don't forget to check the general rules here three post per member! Good luck Link to post Share on other sites

Johnsmithfsx 0 Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 ♫ Ova da sea, ova da sea... ♫ Many times, when someone says U.S. Air Force, the fist aircraft that comes to mind is the F-16. It is practically the symbol of the U.S. Air Force and for good reason. Operated by 26 air forces, this majestic bird of prey boasts superb maneuverability in a dogfight while having excellent air to ground capability. "Our AC-130 is in the air" (sorry couldn't resist the COD reference chance) Great entries so far :001_th_smiles89: Link to post Share on other sites
Aidan 1 Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 The DC-3, to me, is a beautiful bird. IMHO the most iconic in aviation history. Link to post Share on other sites

johnep 0 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Had to register first so hope all OK. I have only a very basic computer and no idea what the mother board is, the graphics card is 512mb Nvidia. I have no fancy addon aircraft, but acquired the Air Bus collection at the Duxford show. In my eyes the A380 is an iconic aircraft and pic taken (several hours waiting for Fraps to click at right time) using real weather this afternoon over Kigali. I consider Nature has taken a flash shot for her collection. All basic FSX. Hope to get a few more lightning shots, but a long process. johnep Link to post Share on other sites
johnep 0 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Here is another pic of a A380 in an african Thunderstorm. Airbus from Abacus, rest all standard FSX with downloaded real weather. One more to come. johnep Link to post Share on other sites
