if you look at 04:20 seconds, for me it looks like the perfect photo, the plane is about to land, how anymore precise do you need to be? And other players that I know, have the same trouble with these 3 planes.

These are one of the last I need, I tried two months ago, and yesterday and today I tried again, but no succes.

Seems to me this plane is about to land :stuck_out_tongue:

Posting this so this comes up again.

Can we get a fix?
