Simple answer is I cheat!
For dramatic effect the airfield pictures are from various missions I've recently flown in my new SF2: USMC install, and the queue of aircraft waiting for take-off is just from me choosing lots of different aircraft for my squadron in the single mission Load-out screen.
Having said that, once I took off I sent everyone else home and flew the RAF C-130 to make a cargo drop close to a village near the Ethiopia-Sudan border, where I was shot at by AAA an on egress was engaged by a Sudanese MiG-29 which I dodged while two USMC F/A-18Cs came to my rescue and took him out.
I didn't take any pictures of that mission after takeoff, so my mandatory screenies are a Force Recon insertion off a hostile coast in my SF2: USMC install (the Zodiac is a Groundobject from YAP Straits of Hormuz):
