MSBoxer Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I have had this image in rotation for my desktop wallpaper for a while now and just noticed something that makes me question it's authenticity. Let me know if you see anything off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) Looks like an A-10 popping countermeasures to me, bit lightly armed by Warthog standards, but other than that..... What did you have in mind? Some of the shadows look a bit weird, but I'd guess that'll be down to the arc of magnesium flares it just spat out.

MSBoxer Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 Ahh, thank you! Counter measures! I thought some photo-shopper thought it would be cool to simulate a missile launch, but decided to put the flare behind the nacelle! This has really been bugging me! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSBoxer Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 Thanks, the original image was timed perfectly and at the right angle. Or at least good enough to fool my old eyes! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
