Not only neat shots, but very creative. Who want's realism anyhow, at least when it comes to fun. Cool!

that's awesome, I did try searching for "Aerotow" as you suggested, however the only topic that keeps coming up is this topic...

What file(s) should be looked at for achieving the desired effect of using the F-18?
