Hello all,

GoogleEarth has recently released Germany in HQ-textures. You can even identify the airlines at EDDF.

But, when I looked at EDDF I saw something suprising:

You can see 3 LH-B744. I guess that's because the satelite took 3 pictures successively. What do you think?

...and if you look at London Heathrow you'll see four Airbus A320s on runway 09L...


I think you'll find given its increase in size from left to right, its a 747 departing underneath the camera aircraft... :)

That is pretty cool. I'd say it was the speed the satellite was taking shots! Otherwise ATC would be ordering valium by the container load ;D ;D ;D
