I didn't want to hijack the inducing thread, so I thought I'd start a new one.

Wanted to point Hoss to a location in Arizona 32°09'22"N, 110°50'42"W. The Airplane grave yard.. Awesome sight from above.

Let me know what other interesting location are out there....

 

First thing I did was head on over to New York and take a look at ground zero.

Very easy to find, only piece of the island without phreakishly tall buildings on it.

Turn on 3D buildings, and New York is way cool (tallest building I've ever seen is 30 floors).
Washington DC is also cool with the 3D buildings.

There is a "google earth community" tab, if you activate it, brings up a lot of interesting things to see,
and a lot of duplicate entries with slightly messed up coordinates.

There's a jetliner in middle Idaho that looks like it's crashing, can't remember the coordinates,
but it has a google community "!" marking it.

There's also one like that near SFO/San Jose.

Maybe try and find area 51???

 

Search groom lake, nice detailed pics at a 1200 ft eye level. You dont see anything tho.

 

Now that is VERY cool.

So, are those retired planes or are they there for some other purpose?

 

How do you focus? when I go in close it's not clear at all. I want to see if my horses are ok at the ranch in Nebraska.

 

Check out Cambridge, MA. That city is in 6" resolution, highly detailed.

 

You have to turn the little focus **** on the lense of the camera.

 

Boy...you're not kidding. I wish it was like that everywhere.

 

try Area 51 with the Google earth community check marked under layers section

 

I think mostly retired waiting to be scrapped... That's a lot of metal..

Just went to find Area 51.. With Community switch on you can see all the Nukes that were tested... All I can say is .. WOW..

 

Anywhere in the New Jersey Pinelands... Kind of dispells the "nothing but malls, oil refineries, and airports" myth.

 

Were they tested underground? Those don't appear to be craters.

 

You are looking at AMARC when viewing the aircraft graveyard. Parts are still pulled from those A/C from joint services when needed. The location was selected for storage due to the low humidity levels.
