Google Earth captures a warbird flying around

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.

Can you paste a still? I have dial-up

evangilder · Feb 13, 2006

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.

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

http://www.google.co.uk/downloads/

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.

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 · Feb 14, 2006

Very nice stuff. Thanks all!

Henk · Feb 14, 2006

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

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?
