Where's my shot...?  

[iDunno]

Wow gr8 shots.. Went with 15, really liked the atmosphere and the clouds.

[StephenD]

I went with 3. But one thing, I thought this was GA? Why is there airliners and military aircraft in there when the rules excluded it..

[thrasher27191]

26 took my vote

[Pavehawk]

20 got mine this month, just had that General Aviation Feeling, cessna taking off from a little airport for a nice cruise.   Nice job on the others.  

[Brad]

Nice shots this month - and thanks to Just Flight for sponsoring!

I think I'd better take a day or two to decide.

[Vlad]

Mine's in there. Why are the last two shots B737s, and #15 is a military plane?

General Aviation is anything but "Airline & Military" paint schemes. #15 is a Citation X which is a private jet.

Great Shots this contest, I smell some great competition.

That Chipmunk in #2, G-AORW, belongs to one of my old lecturers from uni - its based at Glasgow Prestwick airport!  

Look up Skylark Aviation if you're interested in taking a flight in it.


Still deciding on who to vote for!

[Vlad]

I mean #18.

[UltimatePilotAce]

Great Shots Everyone,


Unfortunately I accidently pressed Forfeit

*oops*

[WingWarrior.]

I had to go with #6. Love the clouds

However, the rules say this:

Quote

By General Aviation we mean anything that's not a commercial carrier or military plane

Isn't it a bit unfair and misleading for people who haven't posted it in military markings..

Doesn't military plane include an aircraft in any airforce markings etc..

There's quite a few military aircraft in there actually..

Sorry but it's a little bit confusing here..

Full ack!

And btw, you shouldn't vote for the most beautiful and most expensive payware addon, you should vote for the idea and creativity of the shot. What is the idea of shot #18? How would that look like in default scenery? Folks, think a little!

Thanks

My thoughts also, expensive scenery doesn't make a shot great, it's also composition and plenty more things, not just 'plonking' an Sia Marchetti Military trainer over Lago's Venice..
Don't get me wrong, it's a great shot but I think people have voted for the looks of the addon and not the shot itself.
