A beautiful sight to behold, a 17 stream. We each hold a fascination with certain areas of WWII air combat and mine is the B17 although i rarely fly it. When in a stream though i would love to participate, and in fact at the exact moment this was taken im participating in another stream about 2 sectors west of this stream. I'm trying to shoot the buggers down.

Notice the gritty realism of the Plane skin, kindly donated by Wrgwy, who's gun film was impossible to get shots from due to the type of replays you get from films recorded from the gunner position... no engines turn and no wheels retract. Bummer. The target cometh.

From Above...

...And from below. Notice how you can see the sky through some flak damage on that engine...ahem.

Smoking, In trouble, as the gunner racks up another fighter, the second starts him smoking... KenJr goes into a deep dive when all his engines are shot out and tears his wings off. The scene going back was quite realistic as well with lots of smoking burning 17's scattered all over the place. Keep the buff-tuff at full all the time i say.
