My Google Earth's been having seizures lately. It freaks out. I updated the software and that's when it all started to go crazy.

Nice job on the U-2, not only did you find one, you found one in flight, either taking off or landing.

I was in AZ as a kid...and there are the airplane graveyards there and also an aviation museuem which had a blackbird but i never saw a U2 tho.... BTW I love google earth...there is a much older concept that microsoft did called Terraserver, but you cant search addresses like google but you can get more hi res pics of areas that aren't real populated

terra server is still around. I remember using that back in 98. It's under a new web addy but same photos it had back then. But yep Google Earth rocks!!!!

Any one notice that CNN and Fox are using Google Earth for their reports?
