Tomcat's Final Flight

Thanks guys, Victory its always cool to have someone well versed in military aircraft recognize a video, thanks for the thumb up. :D

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'.

Nice video. some interesting touches in there..... thinks ..... must try and master EZDOK!
