A little history
This is Iwo Jima present day, as many know, Iwo Jima was one of the most important battles for the US, and one of the hardest.
Here Japan fought to defend the mainland, though out numbered by more than 75,000 troops, the Japanese had fewer casualties.

Good shot! I like how you got the clouds to almost perfectly outline the island! Also brilliant with th camo seeing it's military history! And if I know my meats, (and I don't) that island really does look a lot like a porkchop!

I know, it's amazing! Talk about a fight to the finish!

Thanks for that brief. was almost as good as your screenshot Tongue

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Very nice. Good luck in the contest.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
