Caught these F-15's from Eglin AFB over New Mexico

Post by dk1213 »

I was spotting at Cannon AFB, and I caught this quad formation of "Fighting Crows" of the 60FS, 4 F-15 Eagles from Eglin AFB over New Mexico. I have never seen a 4 ship formation like this randomly while spotting, I thought it was just super cool and deserves an entry into the hotshots if there is one this month. Any tips are appreciated!

Sorry Dan, there is no compertion this month, to much going on in August. I will open one in September.

Here is a tip, disable your Aircraft labels for your shots. :D

10-4 ... I didn't even think about that.

I will find something for next month, this is a cool shot though I thought.

Nice shot and agree, turn off the labels. If you look at the altitudes in the FP file, you can notice the "trickery" gone into trying to get the sim AI engine to fly formation. While spotting, you can sometimes catch the AI just perfect like this, works better I've found with a section (2xjets), they almost fly "parade" formation.
