serverph 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2005 check out this google map with lots of airplanes parked: google.ca/maps/preview?q=air+force+bas0&start=0&hl=en&source=newuser-ws can you "guesstimate" (a combination of guess and estimate ) how many of these parked planes are there? zoom out a bit, or pan across the adjoining spaces to count some more.

Unregistered 015 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2005 I would guestimate there are a lot of them No, seriously, I'm unable to count them since they dont fit my 19'' when trying to see all of them (scrolling to count them makes me lose myslef). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually spent most of this afternoon looking through google maps at different things around the world. I can't remember what the site was called off hand right now, but it was like a blog with links to all sorts of neat things you can find in the google maps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, that is very cool, on my seach through tons of google maps today, I came to this page that shows a plane flying just off from the Tokyo Airport. It's a very clear picture! https://www.google.com/maps/preview?ll=35.573209,107604&t=k&hl=en&source=newuser-ws Notice from snlildude87: When posting links, you don't need to wrap it around the url tag.

kraam 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2005 wow there are lots, what can you expect from seeing a picture of an air force base you cant really zoom out enough to count them all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skynet 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2005 Interesting Find! About 2 days ago, I'm even got link where Googlemaps shows a US Carrier ship and a big cruise ship near anchorage. Unfortunately I forgot where I got the link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wariorpk 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2005 Wow there are at least 1 thousand or more planes sitting there if you ask me. Looks more like an airplane grave yard than an air force base if you ask me. Cool picture! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlaqueMajik 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2005 Ya, I think I have been to that AFB before. There were a lot of planes there. (Yes I live in Arizona.) Here is Area51: Area51 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BuffaloHelp 24 Report post Posted September 19, 2005 You know, some of them are not real at all. Take a look at the other sides and you'll see that some cast shadows but the ones that are aligned up perfectly in straight line do not cast shadows as the rest of them do. I figure since these photos can compromise US Air Force Base's security and the National's, the photos were edited to reveal more/less than what it is. And some airplanes are like from the days in 60's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dogomchawi 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2005 Anyone see any of this stuff as a major security risk? I mean, if there were some guys lookin to plan an attack they could get a full layout of a minlitary base? Seem shady to anyone? Someone mentioned before that this might be one of the things that people are afraid of Google for allowing. I personally think its pretty killerNice job on gettin Area51 by the way =P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
