Google Earth...
For those of you in the habit of plane-spotting on Google Earth, we at ISK seem to be quite popular at the moment... Besides the two in Basra, I've jsut found another in Gibralter... We do get around a bit at the moment...
I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
I thouht the real skill was finding aircraft airborne. Some in Iraq with shadows to prove them airborne.
I have just revisited my AOI and found more recent, and improved, imagery.

I was plotting a route and was amazed at how clever the local authority was at cutting the grass into the shape of an airliner. Apologies if the layout of the co-ords are incorrect:
0°43'12.9"W
51°06'55.8"N

PS Corrections regarding the co-ords will be welcomed.

I have to wonder at how recent the images are, there are Concorde(s) sat at the gate at Heathrow. Have a look at the airfields in Serbia, there's one near Belgrade that still has bomb craters (N44° 55'50 E20° 15'46), although they do appear to have repaired the parallel runway, or is that new?
grunt, if you check the copyright you can see how recent your image that you are currently looking at is. It displays in the bottom of the main window. Can't see your concordes tho, and the images of heathrow appear to be 2006

Yes, but....
If you're really looking to waste some time spotting on Google Earth, there's no place like DM: 32°10'20.53"N, 110°52'11.95"W.
Anyone fancy producing a full read-out?

and they are still there, at the back(east) of terminal 4 .... with the image showing 2006?
how do I copy the coordinates of an image so I can post them in this post? ....
51°27'39.89"N 0°26'41.10"W for the concordes ....

LJR... is the imagery you're talking about older than that? The newer stuff is copyright the year it was issued, some of the older stuff is copy 2002 (date the keyhole program was launched)
