The US National Museum of Naval Aviation flight line can be found at 30.2111N 87.1817W aboard Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida. The museum itself is just to the South of that.

Not an aircraft, but a powerfully sobering thought, esecially if you have seen it from the surface..
21* 21' 53.39" N, 157* 56' 59.89" W
Here are some aircraft, near Gatwick, but not what one might expect:
51* 09' 07.82" N, 0* 12' 54.57" W

Have a look at CFB Cold Lake (54 24 16N, 110 16 43W), where there was an air show on the day the photo was taken.

Look to the right of Argo's Badger at 30 06 34.56N 31 24 34.07E and you can see a bit of an "oopps"!
Also at 56 55 48.24N 23 58 45.80E is a TU22 which has since moved a couple of hundred metres south into the "Museum" next to the terminal.

How often is Google Earth updated? Anyone know?
This site gives details of updates as they are posted

This confirms Duckbutt's supposition that Lancashire was taken in 2000 (see Dec 2nd update data)

I know, I landed there last autumn. The ex-RAF Whirlwind 10 isn't shown for a start.

My laptop is a couple of years old and Google Earth works Ok if I do not follow their recommendation which is to use the ActiveX version. Using the ActiveX version gets me a flashy "light show" and my machine locks up.

Captain Murray, those are USAF C-5s... I suspect the one on 03 had been photographed twice during roll-out and the pictures stitched together in Google Earth.
