As good as it gets for now.

The reason the plane explosion film reel scenes look newer is because they weren’t as much exposed over the many years to the projector lights as much compared with airplane half of the film reel.
btw: blame Fazeo for asking about this game in fall 2001 and I knew what Fazeo was asking about, but it started things rolling for all the Nintendo projection screen stuff over these many years. ‘I Blame Faz’ 
The thread from last year along with a description of how it works.

The reason why the horizontal split screen in the film reel capture, is the film reel output consisted of a top part and a bottom part of the film reel. When a plane is considered as being hit, an internal device, mirror iirc, would reflect the explosion scene ( bottom part of film reel ) on to the project screen. The white circle is the tracking hit box sensor from player’s gun so when plane target intersects, the film screen output of plane explosion is then projected on to the projection screen instead of the airplane target.
Impressive design concept for its time because it meant not having to rely on extra film reels nor projection unit players which WG required. The Nintendo Battleshark film reel game also uses the same design concept as
Sky Hawk. The gameplay difference is war ships are the targets while player is flying an airplane. I never saw
Nintendo Battleshark in person, but there is a place in the UK that is or was running Battleshark at a location.
