Njaco, those are killer pix...but I have to say the Fw190 pic is the best (ok, so I might be a little biased)!
The pic of the 109 is an awesome shot, though!

Not as large of a file as you might expect...
One thing in your favor with an ani-gif, is that a .gif file is much smaller than a .jpg...of course, the down-side to that is loss of quality/resolution. In the case of these two pix, the image quality is such that a conversion to a .gif is not aparent at all, so it's very do-able!
Here, I've grabbed both of your original sigs, modified the Fw190 one to create one that matches the Bf109 (had to grab the "NJACO" from the Bf109 examples because I don't have that font in my system), and made a nifty little animation that's a total file size of 107Kb...not too bad, really.
I set the delay to 1000 per frame (only two frames) which is around 7 seconds or so, you could go a bit longer if you want. And while I was REALLY tempted to make the '190 display longer, I was nice and left them both at an even display time...

Your welcome, glad you liked it!
As you've probably figured by now, the '190 is my fav...lol
But that is a sweet pic of the '109 in motion, someone was really on the ball when they snapped that shot!
You can always adjust the time delay in an animation by editing the frame properties using Animation Shop and for the example I posted, it has about a 7 second delay (set in increments of 1/100), the value being 1000. It won't add much size to the image file by extending the time delay, as it stands, my sig is a larger file then the animated sig example.
I also just realized you bevelled the edges on your sig, I buttonized the border on the example...dang it.
LMAO!! I see you added it after I posted. Glad I could hook ya' up!

I have a very primitive idea of how gifs work. As my limited funds keep me to using GIMP and IFRANVIEW I try to do those amazing things that Wurger and others come up with.
Is there a program that makes gifs? I was just looking at those pics and I think I can make several pics of the planes in motion - either going across the mountains (the 109) or coming at you (the 190).
A new project!

To be honest, I was never all that fond of IfranView or GIMP. More of a personal preferance than anything.
I use Animation Shop 3.0 for animations, by Jasc.
It was only bundled with PhotoShop 7 that I'm aware of. You might want to Google for a free animated .gif creation software unless somebody here has a better recommendation.
There is also an online .gif editor called gifworks, you can give that a try. I used to fool around with it about 10 years ago...it's pretty cool, really. If anything, it'll help you see how an animation works and give you some practice at the same time
