I was interested to read in the 'new on the net' article in Pilot magazine which stated that Google Earth has a 3-D airspace plot with current Mode S traffic shown upon it (Pilot March P11 Tony French.) However, there was no listed link to the site. Please would anyone who does have the link post it here as the other pictures in the article highlight interesting high resolution sat pics.

Looks like a NASA F-15 (pale or white.. anda black F-18, also NASA. The ramp is the Dryden Centre one... no F-22s yet operated by NASA and certainly not at the time of the image...

Have a look at the Google.Earth view of Fairford..., type in Fairford and see if you can spot the single airframe sitting all on its lonesome.

Bet the USSR wished they had Google in the old days what!

Centre on Fairford and zoom out, see how high you can get and still see it.
The second man-made object visible from space.

Not such a high tech aircraft, but a much sweeter sound ... :)
