My 747-8 With Air Force protection

Hello …
We are at Infinity Flight in Kuwait. We made a flight between Toronto-Canada Airport and John F. Kennedy-New York through a 747 aircraft with F-22 air force protection.

This escort looks cool! Spotted any enemies?

don’t forget to hide the HUD.

Any tips for escorting? I often have problems keeping up / not going too fast.

I have done this very often. Try to find out the aircraft’s altitude and speed. Copy his/her flight plan when necessary. I first climb to its altitude. Approach the aircraft with a higher speed than he/she has. When you’re getting very close you decrease your velocity to match with his/her speed. Adjust your speed to stay with the aircraft or turn autopilot on.

As you approach match their speed. Monitor their speed and increase yours slightly. Keep practicing aproach slowly, theres no rush to catch up. I start to slow down around 3nm away

Those are great pictures @FAISALSHAMMARI! I can never get an escort. Any tips on that?

Ask around, some might be willing to escort you. Other times, random guys decide to escort other people.

Thanks @QuarterBach

We have Global Air Forces who escort each other all the time. If you’re interested, get involved!

Nice shots man! Keep it up! :)
