WINNERS, WINNERS, WINNERS



Judge Wafu448 says :





ShaneG!!




...



"The picture is just amazing, I was scared when he posted it first that no-one else would compete after this."



CONGRATULATIONS Shane!!!!







"Jankees takes second place."


...



"This shot was a very close first, that mood just sets the Gladiator off to a tee, very calming."




Third place is a tie!!


Firemonte007


...



Skoker


...



"It is a tie for third place, these shots show why the RFC was called the 17 minuters, the average actual time in the seat solo before being thrown into action."



"Well done all especially having to compete with Shane's shot right from the onset. ps AN2 'Colt first flown in 1947 to replace the Po2.

Bruce "







Nice work on a great comp!



Looks like I'm on the bench next week! Can't wait to see what I come up with for a theme. Cheesy
A big congratulations to the other finalists, and great job to all that entered.

I promise I won't do that again.  Embarrassed Wink




Cheers
ShaneG

My optical illusions are no match for some of my mate's killer Systems & awesome addons. Grin Wink

Believe it or not, but that shot is straight up FS9 with a few color & contrast tweaks. Cool

Ah, yes! Bugs in your teeth. Those were the days Grin

Here's my shot:

Giving Shane a run for his money
http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/CauldronG4081109.jpg

The Caudron G.4 was a French biplane with twin engines, widely used during World War I as a bomber aircraft. It was designed by René and Gaston Caudron as an improvement over their Caudron G.3. The aircraft was no delight for the eye with its massive, open construction. The aircraft employed wing warping for banking. The first G.4 was manufactured in 1915, both in France, England and in Italy. The Caudron G.4 was used as a reconnaissance bomber into the heart of Germany. Later, when Germany developed a fighter force, the aircraft had to be used for night bombings. The G.4 was in use in Belgium, France, Finland, Italy, UK, and in the United States.

Once again congratulations and well dones all round (to those man enough to enter) lol.

It's definitly easier taking the shots than judging them even though I did have a helper (my 18 month old Daughter who kept pointing at the different shots).
