BillD22 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Here are a few shots of 2 Navy F-4N "Phantoms" making a late afternoon sunset return to NAS Miramar just outside San Diego, California, and showing some San Diego area landmarks. This would be from sometime in the mid 70's This is the payware FSX F4B/N from Simworks Studios, freeware Bluesky southern cal scenery, and FSX ActiveSky 16 weather [click on the images for a full screen view] Approaching the coast you can see Mission Bay and the La Jolla area ahead of the airplanes and Point Loma coming up on the right side. Miramar is just out of sight off the right edge of the shot and up from Mission Bay Descending over Coronado you can see the curve of the Silver Strand in the background and the red roofs of the famous beachfront Hotel Del Coronado Inland and turning towards homeplate. Montgomery Field (KMYF) is in view just over the left glareshield with Miramar (KNKF) in the distance Lined up on final for Runway 24R at Miramar Rolling out and turning off the active as a full moon rises in the background Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aharon Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Amazing shots accompanied by excellent specific descriptions of ground in screenshots. That is what makes screenshots more efficient!! The San Diego beach surfers will thank you for waking them up with your sonic boom so that they can hit beaches early to catch some waves!!!

Rupert Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Great! The Deuce was one among the last generation of fighter planes that looked like a plane! Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
