Very good.  The sense of action is so hard to get in TG2...or any still image.  It's like a freeze frame, but it just doesn't...fly.   :P   I like it, so no complaints.  I have struggled with making action happen in an image and have only seen it done beautifully a handful of times.

That said, I like your setup and your render.  The smoke is a great touch.  The clouds are pretty thick, but then they might be.  A little more brightness might help, depending if clouds are higher up or just open sky.

For realism of motion we should need a motion blur option that affects objects as well as camera movement.
Right now stuff only get's blurred if the camera moves.

Great idea and image. I agree that we need decent motion blur or better still gray-scale transparency.

For the time being Photoshop / Gimp should do the trick ;)

I like this image very much... reminds me when I played WWI flight simulators myself :D
