Of course, it will require an expansion of this game into a certain geographic region previously unexplored by OOB. :roll: :wink:

Here's another one that I want to use someday. I have already resized it horizontally to fit.

However, I am wondering what to do with that strange box in the foreground. Do I crop it out vertically and thereby preserve more of the dramatic rising cloud of smoke?

Or do I crop so as to keep the box and its mystery? What comes to mind: A box of canned peaches being enjoyed by Panzer crew members just before being surprised by a sudden British armor attack. So luscious, those peaches were, in the hot, dry desert . . .

I've been to Egypt yrs ago but there wasn't any DC-3 flying overhead near the Pyramids...;)

That's my implication, of course. Say, how old do you think bebro is given that he would be expecting to see a DC-3 in the sky when he was last in Egypt? :?

There's a DC3 in Oslo, Norway that is up for rent, wonder if it can make the flight to the pyramides without a drop-tank :roll:

Lol. FWIW, I've seen a restaurated Ju-52 in flight a couple yrs ago. It was incredibly slow, it felt like it would stop and come down any moment. But it just did move on, slowly but steadily....
