Google Earth captures a warbird flying around

[syscom3]

Go to Google earth and fly to this Latitude/Longitude

52 20 10.87N 0 11 43.34W

Zoom in and look what the satellite caught in flight!

Seen it before but it is still pretty cool.

I wonder if Lanc has seen that.

 

[kiwimac]

Can you paste a still? I have dial-up

 

[evangilder]

Here you go, Kiwi

Here's another cool one. This is the museum where I volunteer. The bird in front of the 2 hangars is the C-46 Command. You can also see a B-25 in the upper left and 2 SNJs just to the right of the B-25, with a Broussard in between them. In the second row on the right you can spot a Long-EZ.

i've seen that before when i tried to play a video of the lanc, someone said i need google earth, i downloaded it, then when i clicked the link for it it just kept taking me back to that...........

That's awesome! I've seen some flying planes around busy airports and occasionally at a US air force bases on google. Crazy!

Cool, Can you please tell me hoe do I get to Goolge Earth and does it matter if I have Dail-Up.

Thanks.

You have to download the program from google. It will probably be pretty slow with dialup as the maps have to load from the internet. But you can get it from http://earth.google.com

Go there and select Google Earth (it is around a 10MB file if I remember). Shouldn't matter if you have dial-up it will just take longer.

 

[Henk]

Thanks mate. Now I am going to spy on you like Bush does for our US members. Just a joke guys.

For you California guys, lets see if you can identify what and where this is...

I blacked out the Latitude/Longitude to prevent cheating.

Van Nuys airport?

 

[delcyros]

Very nice stuff. Thanks all!

 

[Henk]

It is only bad that they does not show my town in detail. I would have loved to see my town from above.

Van Nuys airport?

I thought more people would be able to indentify this. This is a easy quiz!

You are correct, this located at Van Nuys Airport. But can you indentify what aircraft and aircraft group we are looking at in this picture?
