Google Earth, Interesting sights

I've recently been looking at the N /S Korean border, Iraq and Russian coatal ports and airfields. The Murmansk area is fascinating and I've even found a bloody great nuc(?) sub on the Volga in the very centre of Russia, along with a small Caspian Sea Monster, must be 1500 miles from the sea. Why??? There's a huge Monster on the Caspian too, and lots of big hovercraft (Lebed?) too.

Anyone care to post sights worth seeing on Google Earth?

eg, which are Ivan's ship/sub/aircraft graveyards airfields.

Many of the mil airfields have areas of long cylindrical containers laid out in rows, in some cases hundreds of them, they must be a two or three metres across and ten, fifteen long, or more. What are they? Cans for spare engines?

Sadly the SA2 missile have been removed from a site in Africa that I photographed some years ago, though the compound is still there, any more like this?

I'm a nosy bugger, aren't I, but it is fun!
