KBOS & Google earth

Hi Lupa, as Bullethead said google earth is great help to get familiar with new places. Another feature that seems to be helpful for me is the tilt function of google earth. On the top right corner of the image and above the circular scale that lets you change laterally your point of view (from east to west, etc.) there is a horizontal scale used to set different vertical view angles. A kind of tilt. Put yourself above one of the runway thresholds and then lower your point of view using the vertical scale, clicking on the right hand x. Then, voila, you’ll see the runway right as if you were on final. Finally pick the Jepp airport chart and easily you can identify taxiways, intersections and ramps.

Chau LUPA y suerte en Boston
