For those with Google Earth

Well... you never know when you might want one....

You can be sure if you throw it away you'll need it next week.

Ppractice with paint ball guns, sorry, my mistake, rockets.

I lost my watch in my backjard on Sunday. If i give you my address, can you have a look around for it on Google Earth when you have a moment??!!!

How interesting! But is the image real? How do you get a large passenger jet into that location? The paddock that it is sitting in is nowhere near long enough to land an aircraft of that size in. Trust me, I'm a pilot. And the size of the paddock is even more compromised by the surrounding hilly terrain, meaning that an aeroplane must make a fairly steep approach over the hills before flaring out to land, which means that the paddock is further foreshortened as a landing site. The presence of two small trees in the middle of the paddock further reinforce the notion that the plane could not have landed there.

Was the plane trucked in? And then reassembled? I doubt it, although the tail section of the plane looks like it has been detached from the rest of the fuselage.

Also what is that mysterious red and blue shape to the south-west of the plane. It looks like the outline of a similar aeroplane superimposed over what appears to be a hay shed. The presence of the shed means that this was not a former parking place for the plane, which was subsequently moved.

So my question is this: Can Google Earth be hacked to insert spurious images?

How the hell did you spot that Troopadoor?You know the landowner?

Good post!

Here's one I found when I was checking out my old place in Melb.
S38deg 02'34.55" E145deg16'45.20"
Looks abit more realistic.

ok, if you look out at Mickelham rd north of melb, just south of mickelham, after the roundabout, you will see the nose and forward fuselage section of one of our old fokker f28's in a guys front yard to the west of the road. We cut up a few years back when they had run out of airframe hours, and its pretty strange where they ended up.
