#3 with a little bit of PP to bring out those flags (subtly). I find myself very very interested in a lot of these shots (2,3,5,7,8) but I think they require a bit of refinement to really grab me.

Very very good start.

the last one has alot of potential if you add some contrast and saturation to really bring out the colors of the sky

If you didnt follow the first one, the OP is using his point and shoot during his deployment.
