In the Arnold AFB (Manchester/Tullahoma) entry you are missing a couple of aircraft. At the southern base entrance across the entrance driveway from the F-4 there is a an F-16 near the main road


How is this for an estimate?... 35 21 49.12 N 86 03 17.78 W

I think you are pretty close, I came up with this: 35.36 37 51 N 86.05 48 94 W

And this? 35 21 47.31 N 86 03 21.41 W

And here I'm thinking: 35.36 45 43 N 86.05 48 08 W Take a look and see if I know what I am doing with the coordinate look-up feature, they are just on the opposite side of the service road from the F-4

The F-105, F-14, and F-15 are located at the three spots you have indicated a little further northeast.


I have upgraded the accuracy indicator.

Thanks for all of the good info?

Thanks for all of your hard work on the locator. I am using it to plan my roadtrip to South Dakota here in the near future.


I am planning on adding a trip planning feature where you can add sites to a travel plan like adding items to a shopping cart in an on-line store. It would use the route planning services of Google maps. You would also be able to add extra way points to alter a route. Change to the order of stops. Have it calculate for the times of various legs, and provide estimates of time spent on-site. Essential you would be able to plan a day’s drive relatively easily and save the plan for later editing. You would perhaps even then be able to share this plan with others, etc.

I think this is an EXCELLENT idea!

Do you have any ideas of features which could be added?

I think you are doing a great job as it is. Other than adding pictures of the subject aircraft, I don't think you can make it much better.

This is yet another thread I just discovered I have been accidentally ignoring. My apologies. I didn't get properly caught up after vacation.

Thanks. I agree, photos of the subject aircraft is an element that is missing. I have been trying to figure out how I could set this up without it resulting in much continual work for me. I don't mind the set-up time expense, I just don't want the on going chore to become a cross I can't bare. I could create a form for each location which you access from the Locator search results. You would then specify the aircraft type, possibly even the serial number if you have it. The date the photo was taken would be a must, at a minimum a year and even better would be the year and month. You would then be able to submit the picture online through the same form, and it would go into a queue waiting to be reviewed. It would have to be one submission per plane per photo, which might be extra work for the submitter, but would be necessary from the data management angle on this end. You would then be able to obtain a link to the photo you would use in a discussion board like this one. Thoughts?

Mike

I still think linking to the existing registry would be the least amount of work. Most of the pics are already there and they get updated, so that part of the equation is already done.
