If you look three births NE of USS Intrepid, you will see the sheer size of the Queen Mary 2! FBS!

Also on the boat is what looks like a Swift in front of the island and a Scimitar behind, as well as a Harrier on the lift.


Edited to put in Lat/Long

That copyright date is when they published the image not took it. A marina close to us says 2006 but new road construction that was underway a year ago is not shown. It was just replaced a couple of months ago with this new image.

51°24'25.56"N 1°01'06.83"W - and you need to go in really close, maybe 900 feet.

The towers are obviously lightning conductors, as seen around the Air Force Titan pads at Cape Canaveral. But the "greenhouse" structures encircling the bunkers and covering the corridor leading off to the north-west; one huge Faraday Cage? Whatever it is, I guess you can't be too careful with those nukes....

Conspiracy theorists come back, all is forgiven......

I thought I'd just check again the US counterpart to Burghfield, which is the Pantex facility outside Amarillo, to see if they also had these Faraday Cages;

35°18'29.99"N 101°33'28.85"W

....and since I last looked someone has left the shutter open for too long, and now we have a highly over-exposed picture which shows no detail. Three months ago it was a far superior image with balanced exposure.

But then again I guess Google Earth is probably the only recon system that the North Koreans have at present...

I was beginning to wonder about that. The image quality is definitely not what it was.
Locally in Maasmechelen, Belgium, residents are up in arms now that the war memorial is seen to be in the shape of a swastika

Some old airframes on the Pampa Range @ 51.02.4820N, 5.27.1192E

This is Pinal Air Park at Marana, Arizona, near Tucson.

Most notable, perhaps, for the Beechcraft Starship fleet in storage there.

Low resolution airphoto of the Airforce Museum, Hanoi, with derelict Bac Mai airfield to the SE.
Mig 15s, 21s, 17(?) and some large helicopters, plus assorted other fixed wing aircraft.
In the museum building, there is a Vostok space capsule. When I went there 8 years ago, I was the only visitor. They had to turn on the lights for me, which disturbed a rat as big as a cat

31 year old relics at Tan Son Nhat - C119, CH47, C130s, C123s and C47

and some more recent Russian relics - ex-Vietnam Airlines An24s
