Scramble Interceptor F-20 Tigershark

[Matthew Kane]

Another IRIS aircraft for my hanger today. So let’s try this one out with a scramble mission.

An unruly passenger has threatened a commercial airliner and I have been ordered to intercept. We depart from CFB Comox on Vancouver Island with an F-20 Tigershark.

Aircraft: IRIS Premium Series F-20 Tigershark

Scenery: NA Blue PNW

This thing climbs like a rocket. You can see Comox back between the clouds:

Great Shots! Wonder if the A-10 will be $5 

[Matthew Kane]

That's what I'm hoping for. Their jets are very good on frame rates.

Some low flying in that one would be a blast

Good shots ytz.  Hope your not going to shoot it down because of one troublesome passenger      I would get the Warthog if its $5 but I feel we are not going to be that lucky .

[Matthew Kane]

No need to shoot it down....I was just following the intercept procedures 

We train in Flight School what to do if you get intercepted but FSX is the place where you can actually intercept an aircraft 

Here are the intercept procedures from AOPA:

I think you've lost a few pics there, or photobucket has canned them!

I posted this here and over at AVSIM at the same time. Someone over at AVSIM replyed:

Nice shots. Careful what you post.. some people get offended by this sort of post... I don't care personally but I'm just saying...

I didn't see anything wrong with them as it was a standard intercept but I deleted two of them just in case, one was showing the 767 in my HUD and the last one showing the Tigershark trailing the 767. Just didn't want to offend anyone and keep this hobby a positive one.
