PBA TGT, I am aware that the imagery is quite old but the copyright (when zoomed) is DigitalGlobe 2006 and TerraMetrics2006. The image of Camp Andy (demolished end of 2004) is only half complete - as it was prior to the spring offensive of 2003.
Fair play... somethings up... seem to remember there being an option somewhere in the prog to check the date the image you're looking at was last refreshed... will investigate further....
Anyone explain this NY rooftop???

It is on top of 77 Water Street. The architect says that it is a full-size model of a WWI Sopwith Camel, designed by Rudolph De Harak and built in 1969 - primarily to amuse the inhabitants of surrounding scyscrapers, notably the World Trade Center. Whoops!!!!
There is an SR71 Onboard a carrier at 40'45'51.86"N 74'00'00.60W

Yep, hours of fun!
To copy and paste lat/longs. Just add it as a place mark. That will give you its L/L. You can paste one in top right 'fly to'.
Im currently trying to find the Playboy mansion. Anyone got the L/L?

... all this Google Earthing prompted me to look for the famous 'piss off biggles' barn in Wales.
Sadly, the wording has long since been removed by the farmer, but my search took me to a very sad conclusion.
The only image I could find of the barn is here: http://www.targeta.co.uk/wheretogo.htm
Out of curiosity, I decided to enter the serial of the Hawk on that pic (XX164) into google, only to discover that it was written-off in a fatal accident on take-off at Valley in 1996. The pilot? Simon Burgess, a very dear friend of my family and a well known figure in the village I grew up in. A true hero, who was captured and tortured by the Iraqis in Gulf War 1 when his Tonka GR1 was shot down over Baghdad, but after a relatively short recovery time he got back to the business of flying fast jets and took up a role at Valley to pass on his experiences to a whole new generation of pilots, yet still only in his early 30s himself.
Remarkable chap.
How sad, but what a coincidence.
Hey ho, on with the topic....

Google hosted the following a few years ago. It was triggered by typing 'weapons of mass destruction' into their search engine.

This lat/long should take you to the two Typhoons that visited Singapore during the summer of 2004:
1°21'12.36"N 103°54'12.15"E
"27 June 2004 RAF TYPHOONS DEPART FOR SINGAPORE"

I thought I remembered a couple of Concorde's? .... 
and they are still there, at the back(east) of terminal 4

The image of SLB 30°25'8.96"N 47°38'34.60"E appears to be between Apr and Sept 04, judging by the state of development
