Really Nice, but you need to give some credit to Keith Fretwell the artist who bring this vision of this plane.

Very nice digital work!
Too bad they retired... All well. My first trip to Iraq I worked with the last deployment of these aircraft... Quite an experience to be at least a tiny part of the service history of these legendary planes...

FOX-2 is Sidewinder, and FOX-1 is the White Hope (aka the AIM-7 Sparrow).

I was wondering whether you'd taken leave of your wits, but it looks like you haven't.

nice meshwork....
i think it would have been abit better if you had either cropped the right edge out or straightened it...
also, i'm confused as to where the missle is coming from, as the perspective, and direction of it looks like it's been shot from another plane and is passing underneath the cat

Yes, thanks for the suggestion, I've already submitted a new 'trim-down-the-edge-' image.
