I found some aerial photos of compounds in the Helmand Province that the devs may possibly find useful someday. The were taken from a private plane "between Camp Bastion and Lashkar Gah". Enjoy.

very cool thanks for sharing, these should come in useful

would have thought the taliban would have fired off a few RPGs and small rounds at a small plane flying that low thou, they are lucky to get away without a scrape.

Looks to me like a fairly old civilian plane. Taliban are unlikely to want to shoot down a non-Military plane, as it would turn the local population against them.


Great pictures though :D

That's exactly what I was thinking. I know my adrenaline would be running a bit high :)

On a side note, keep up the great work all; you've got a big PR fan here!
