Hatshepsut beam screensot (back side of the retail box)

Can anyone make it out which mission is it taken from? Because if I guess it right, it's the first mission. In the screenshot, the player flies the Herc II, which is unavailable in the first mission. - TopAce 09:04, 23 August 2008 (CDT)

It's been a while since I played it, but I thought it was from the last mission of the FS2 demo. That said, it could also have been taken in an early version of a campaign mission that was significantly modified, or it could have been a mission ultimately removed from the game. -- BlueFlames 17:03, 23 August 2008 (CDT)
