Thanks guys, Victory its always cool to have someone well versed in military aircraft recognize a video, thanks for the thumb up.
Used several false locations throughout, in true Hollywood fashion
Don't have a good NAS Oceana, so used the tiny runway at KHQM and tried deceiving camera angles to make the runway seem a little bigger.
Climbing out the photoreal scenery below me was Louisville, KY -- standing in for Virginia Beach. Works because its green. I think the author is Jim Jones? I can check.
The mixed farmland/desert was MSE 2.0, south of Bakersfield. Wanted it to have that West Texas/Eastern New Mexico kind of vibe.
The aerobatic desert scenes, again MSE 2.0, Chocolate Mountains standing in for Central Arizona.
Davis Monthan scenes were actually DM, scenery is 'Tucson Photoreal'.
