In honor of the 33 years of stalwart RAF service by the Jaguar, we held a virtual commemorative flight by twelve 6 Squadron NBAI Jaguar GR3's over RAF Coningsby this morning. Below are a few unposed screenshots. Enjoy!!!

Thanks Nick,

You also have an email inbound on this subject.

In FS9 I am lucky just to get 4 AI flying in any type of formation say nothing of 12.

Don't give Mike Ideas! He could get them in a 6 formation and spelling out your name if we gave him long enough to work it out!

Mike,

You need to add one more, the actual flypast is by 13 Jags in a figure 8 formation!

You sure, they did 12 in a figure 6 the other day, cos 12 jets is a squadron.

Nick,

I am going to take some better screenshots which you can of course use. I am also thinking about a short video to capture the flyby even better.

CW,

I could have all 18 of the 6 Squadron Jaguars if they all could get airborne at once, so 13 is no problem at all.

If you look closely that is actually three 4 ship formations with 4 slots open between each 4 ship formation. I was also thinking of adding some solo and 2 ship formations for a real airshow effect.

Mike,

Yours looks every bit as impressive as the real thing, and a fitting tribute too.
