It looks real, how did you make it?
Yesterday I tried adding smoke to one of my shots - didn't work well Wink

I just used the 'Dodge' tool to create the overall whiteness then added a bit of 'Burn' too it and a tad of 'Ocean Ripple' and 'Smudged' it all together

All of that using PS:CS3

Pitts Christen Eagle

May be wrong but think the Eagle's made by Aviat of Lander, Wyoming.

THIS IS NOT A PANAM CLIPPER

In real life i thought the manufacturer was Pitts

Iris made this one in FSX though with help from some freeware designers

Though my memory is long past its shelf life, I seem to recall reading that one (Pitts) or the other (Aviat) was acquired by one or the other. Suppose a simple GOOGLE would provide the answer

from what i know, Pitts acquired Aviat though a merge or something along those lines, so today we have the world famous Pitts and 'in my opinion' some of the greatest acrobatic planes ever built
