This month we would like to see shots that could have come from movies, they don't have to be aviation movies, Casablanca comes to mind amongst others.

It could take the form of a movie poster, or just a standard screenshot format but please include what film the picture represents!

The editing restriction has been lifted for this months competition with the exception that we don't want any real-world scenes or people edited in.

Good luck, competition ends 23:59 BST Mon 30th April.

Here's my example.

Oh.. Firefox.. now there's a movie I loved once upon a time...

[Misha Cajic]

Oh i'll have something good for this one! Just you wait!

[stu7708]

Well, better get this one in the draw before someone else nicks the idea...

not the ideal location, but I couldn't find the right island, or any shaped the way I remember them...

Easy option no.1: Top Gun

My entry: a scene from 'DAKOTA' a Dutch movie from the late 70ties. This scene depicts an illegal drug drop over a small inhabited island near Curacao, Dutch Antilles. The movie was a flop in the Dutch theaters, but for DC-3 buffs (like me) it is a real classic.
PH-MAG was an ex-Martinair Dakota and was sold to Scorpio Films just for the movie. After that is was sold again and finally ended up at Malta in the 80-ties. Nice detail: in the 90-ies, pieces of her were used as decoration in an "All American" Restaurant in Fleet, UK. Cockpit section inside, tail section outside in a pond, resulting in comotion as passengers on a train bound for London reported a "plane crash" in the water!! Obviously, the tail was removed from the pond very quickly !

Here's my first one. I hope I'm allowed to post another Bond one. If not, I'll remove it pronto.

There are some really creative entries so far.
Alan, where on earth did you get that Firefox plane? You did that in FSX?

Entry one:



Entry two: This is my version of Executive Decision. Couldn't find an Oceanic livery, so I used British Airways instead. This scene is only a few minutes before Steven Segal's character falls to his death.

The Firefox is a freeware file from the talented hand of Mr Kazonori Ito if I remember rightly. I've had it for a couple of years. Its an FS9 model but I believe there is an FSX one around as well. I last saw it on flightsim.com but it may be availiable elsewhere.

My first attempt this month.

[ddavid]

To coincide with the Just Flight Mitsubishi Zero, here's an old favourite:



And, before you ask, the JF Zero does have a cockpit...

I know Top Gun has been done, but here's that inverted situation:



Had to repaint the old Northrop F-5 to give it the Red Star treatment...

Cheers - Dai.

Poster no.3

[rosariomanzo]

My entry.

It was not exactly a Maule Orion, but a M5. You can see it at minute 2:00 in the trailer.



Take your seat!

[Gunner]

Hello gents,

after all, i managed to get some entry's too. Here it is.


and Nr. 2



Good Luck everyone

[Misha Cajic]

Here's mine, Gunner I know you just did an Air Force One screenie but i've had this idea for this contest in the back of my head since the beginning of the month, so I had to do it!

[Gunner]

Hehe, no probs Misha, my first intention was something similar with F 15-ns, but i had to reformat my comp and i had problems making FSRecorder to work. Only a few days ago i managed to make it work, and i chose the final scene with the 130.

Good luck

[mutley]

I am dreading judging this month's competition we have fantastic entries, well done everyone, not long to go now.
