Go to the north of the one-winged B747 and you'll see the line of the 'stitched image' by the difference in colour of the fields etc. Hence, the one-winged B747 was right on the join of the image... yet the shadow remains intact by virtue of the position of the sun. Simple really isn't it
Yes, I did realise that - just testing! Honest....

And when you zoom out enough the whole runway disappears.
I hadn't spotted that, It happens in both Google and Microsoft. Presumably the low resolution shots from satellites are much older than the close up ones. When was the new remote runway built?
