Re: Google Earth and WW2 Aircraft wrecks

After re-reading a book I have on the Ploesti raid, it was interesting looking over the refinery area. On Google Maps, look at Rhein-Main and spot the 3 Lufthansa 747's in a fly-over.

Re: Google Earth and WW2 Aircraft wrecks

Chris,
Nice pictures, but do you think it might be three pictures of the same aircraft? All three pilots plus the ground controllers would have gone to jail for allowing three passenger aircraft that close togetter at that height over a populated area.

Regards,

Bruce

Re: Google Earth and WW2 Aircraft wrecks

Good point. I never thought of framing sequence. I don't know the technology of how Google captures them. Many other aerials of airports I have viewed with aircraft in a pattern have never exhibited that.
