Ah yes, I remember seeing pictures of the population grownups and children in these areas being affected by Agent Orange (not a nice sight)... but your picture here is very good. I love that pov and the way you made the "herbicide trails", cool feeling of height and nice lense flair (done with PSP?). Excellent work.

Thanks tony_br22, all was done in Vue, the lens flare effect was done by moving the sun to the far rigth just out of the camera view. :) The trails are just spot lights with the option "Show smoke or dust in light beam" on and the palying with the settings. ;)

The aircraft used for this operation were C-123's, a two engine acft. Lens effects are great and love the sunset effects.
