http://hbbs.keyhole.com/ubb/postlist.../EarthMilitary should keep you voyeurs happy for a while. The Google BBS is a bit like a charity shop - keep searching through the tat long enough and you will find a few gems.

Have at look at 9R at Atlanta – there’s a plane just flaring over the piano keys whilst just a few seconds behind over the car park there’s another on finals (but a little off the centre line).
Meanwhile halfway down 8R there’s a plane just rotating while only a bit ahead of it there’s one that has obviously just lifted off.
Also if you extend the centre line of 36R at DFW a little there are three planes quite close together which have clearly just taken off on that runway.
Presumably these effects are caused by photos being taken at different times or just apart and being stitched together.

Apologies in advance for going a bit off-topic, but does anyone else have problems with Google Earth? I downloaded the freebie version, and within minutes of starting Earth it completely freezes my PC, to the extent that I can only switch off by holding the power button down. Ctrl-alt-del etc. are all rendered useless.
I tried deleting the cache file but when I re-opened Earth I got exactly the same problem. Couldn't find anything of help on the Earth web site.
Any ideas?

I did see a few guarded comments when I downloaded it, the inference being that you need a fairly pokey machine, or at least, a fairly recent one - to run it.
Two things here. If you look in the program folder for GE, there are options to run it under Direct X or Open GL. Whichever you are running, try the other. Failing that, get yourself armed with the latest drivers for your video card and that should help.
If it doesn't work, come back here with details of your video card and we can scratch our heads a bit.
Good Luck!

Forget,
If you can see the outline of the Kegworth accident B737 I would be very surprised because that part of the M1 embankment was completely reshaped some time after the accident and I should think all traces on the surface would have completely gone.

Shy Torque. Take a look at the numbers I gave - and this might explain it.
'Kegworth Parish Council has erected a Memorial in Kegworth Cemetery to "those who died, those who were injured and those who took part in the rescue operation". Soon after the disaster the Ml was widened from three to four lanes and the Parish Council arranged for the soil on which the aircraft came to rest to be removed from the Ml embankment and placed in Kegworth Cemetery. This soil forms the base for the memorial garden. On top of this is a large stone upon which is engraved the names of all those who died'.
