forget the plane in the center of the image, go southwest, and what kind of bird is that you see?

Then go northwest to a little seaport and what are the three B-24 lookin planes and what is the other one sitting away from them to the northwest?


Oh, it's China BTW...

I'm not sure exactly what they are but i don't believe they are liberators. hey look to be high wing 4 engine seaplanes. All the more so since this appears to be a seaplane port. If I'm not mistaken the odd looking craft seems to be one of those giant russian built ground effect ships. I could be wrong though.

How does this work? how do you move directions? Sorry, this is new to me. Obviously it doesn't work like mapquest.

after you install google earth, go to googlehacks.com to see sightings from other people.

or just copy and paste the coordinates into the search bar and hit the go button.

in my first post here, all you have to do is click the link, download the image but instead of saving it, you tell it to open it and google earth will start and fly you to the location.

its alot of fun to play with and you can find some really cool aircraft with it.
