Country: | Here's another cool one. This is the museum where I volunteer. The bird in front of the 2 hangars is the C-46 Command. You can also see a B-25 in the upper left and 2 SNJs just to the right of the B-25, with a Broussard in between them. In the second row on the right you can spot a Long-EZ.

Country: | That's awesome! I've seen some flying planes around busy airports and occasionally at a US air force bases on google. Crazy!

Country: | You have to download the program from google. It will probably be pretty slow with dialup as the maps have to load from the internet. But you can get it from http://earth.google.com

Go there and select Google Earth (it is around a 10MB file if I remember). Shouldn't matter if you have dial-up it will just take longer.

I blacked out the Latitude/Longitude to prevent cheating.
