It looks like an ATR Dan
Heres one I found - eye level is 1500 feet AMSL - altitude here is 1000 AGL
and the nearest airport is 20 miles away = found it checking out my favorite sopt on Lake Allatoona just north of Atlanta - the area is still very isolated
so my question is - the Cessna flying or down????

Looks like a C-5A being refueled by a KC-135 (707), given the size difference you would not think it would be worth the effort.Keith Jones wrote:If you think that's low, have a look here:-
41°51'7.47"N
121°28'42.92"W
Very cool, time to fire up the wayback machine.Keith Jones wrote: There's also something of interest here:-

i dont understand this google earth.....
a few months ago i looked at Basra, and shaibah, both little haunts i frequented whilst in the delightful little place call iraq,
when i looked at them they were farly recent shots.... tents etc errected by coalition forces, now, nothing no zip, diddly squat, the pictures are now pre-war no 2,
any ideas how they work this, as i thought they would have put up recent shots as oppose to old!!

It's all to do with the resolution of the shots Nigel. One could say that NY is a little more interesting that Lincolnshire.. not that I would of course Some areas are shot at a much higher magnification allowing that much more detail
