Sorry but this is the same as the other ones. No angle and I think the lighting is off.

I disagree, your angle can be as good as the best photo out there, you just have to find it.  If you're working on a composite and you find that you can't get a good angle out of the photo, stop and find a new one.

A Yankees game in the winter?

It's OK....the cutouts are nice but I dont like the grain, and the fact that both aircraft are clearly the same one pasted again. The angles could be improved aswell....maybe one banking away towards the stadium...

The key issue here is lighting...as you can see, the stadium is lit by a low evening sun, which has orangy light, whereas the planes are lit by a midday "white" sun....

To sort this. when you take the screenshot take it at dusk, with the sun shining directly on the aircraft. Then once it's cut out play with the colour balance and try and make the colourings match by bumping up the red and yellow...then use a mixture of dodge and burn to highlight and shadow and it's perfect

Keep trying

PS..looking back I also agree with the photo posts....it is very hard to make a composite when the photo has clearly been taken on the ground, as the planes always seem to low or too small....to remedy this I probably would clone out the lamppost and then perhaps do a formation of 6 thunderbirds breaking over the stadium, thus filling the space even though they are small, and retaining the altitude
