Here is an Air 2 Air taken this morning at around 5500 feet.
Spent a couple of hours with the guys and flew with an old school friend that I hadnt seen for quite a while which was great.

We had some nice clear air so the exhaust heat has shown up quite well.
Great bunch of lads at 3 Squadron.
More shots to follow.

Ok guys I have splashed out on FS Repaint from Abacus, so I might be getting into the Repaint business. Have you got any good side on shots Gavin (or other's) that I could use? And also If anybody could point me in the way of a decent tutorial ( tongue.gif ) or something like that that would be Awesome!

Great shot s again Gavin , to get a good photoreal , well least on Deane's Huey is very close ups so to show the detail , were the the camera lens fills at 1 meter .. step 1 meters click and so on .. frame by frame , the model 'Deane's' is restrictive in FS resolution otherwise .
