Random question - please feel free to move somewhere more appropriate.
Whilst twiddling my thumbs at work today, stumbled onto Google Maps' 3D setting. After exploring my golf course, and house, and estate, i navigated over to BHX. About 2 minutes later i spotted that there were precisely zero aircraft anywhere at the airport, with the exception of one GA plane over on the Elmdon apron. There did however appear to be a reasonable amount of cars parked up, both at the airport, the train station and at the NEC.
I'm curious - is BHX ever that quiet or is it a doctored image of some form (i.e. to remove 'adverts' by showing aircraft liveries)? When might such a picture be taken?
Even during covid times, presumably a few aircraft have been parked up. Timing wise, the images look to have been taken a year or so ago when major works were going on in the city centre. Interestingly, MAN is also almost empty, though LHR is packed to the rafter.
