I see they took lessons from the HiTech school of designing an airbase "thou shalt have large high objects at the end of the runway"

FSN doesnt allow direct image linking.

But I can imagine you mean the blob floating at the end of runway 09.
Theres two runways at Malmi, north/south and west/east

Damn, that Real Life has some nice graphics, where can i order one? However those runway textures could use a little tweaking.

It worked when I first posted it.

Sorry. The photo is of a small airplane landing. The camera is behind it, but up high, maybe in a tree?

I know for certain that A-1 Skyraiders claimed MiG17's in combat at least three times during the war, Its quite possible they shot down a AN2 down in Laos or N.Vietnam on a Rescue Mission.

Hmmm.....How did you know that A-1 Skyraiders claimed MiG-17s? Seem that I almost don't believe you

I know one A-1 killed a Mig-17 when the mig got slow and tried to out turn the A-1.

Thanks, Dnil and I have no idea that A-1 can shot down MiG-17 because I always thought Skyraider is the slowest Attacker than any F4U-6/AU-1 and others attacker aircrafts.
