A-star. Eurocopter AS-350.

Thanks for the link Dania. One picture on the link shows large stone blocks being removed. I'd suggest those pictures are taken in one of two quarries at: 33-40'; 36-52'.

Correction notice sent to CNN.

I was about to past the same link; until I played the video. Must be a technical glitch with CNN; as the video shows security forces controlling activity at a local hospital.

Thumbnail image configuration is S-200/SA-5 configuration. Link to more info.

New imagery un-censored. But some buildings and aircraft pixel'd.

Appear to be old "oxbows" of alluvial formations.

Thanks - I was looking at the older imagery.

The cargo plane on the ramp is a C-17. Note the canards on the wing tips. The C-5 does not have.

Sunflower.

Western portion extends into West Virginia.

The Mi-26 was used to move Nabors Rig 99 into a site during the early fall; prior to trucks being able to carry heavy loads on frozen winter roads.

Luyang Air Base.

The guys in the Google Car must be stoned.

Koyukuk is 240 miles southwest, and not even on the pipeline route.

This pipeline runs totally within Alaska.

Not sure how your description of Middle Yukon, Canada was accepted.

The coordinates are correct. Closest town is Coldfoot, Alaska.

New Imagery shows completed airport.

Bing Maps show complete tank farm complex.

Updated Imagery for the area - but blury.

That's just one of many industrial lots in Hay River. Check the eastern side of the airport (3.8 km northeast of this location). I see (most of) Four DC-4's and one DC-3. Larger collection at the Yellowknife Airport (aka Jo-Raccick-Park).

New imagery shows dam walls in place. A-154 north/south fully developed. A-418 to the south being drained of water.

Don't see any parts of a Power Plant here. No transformer yard or power line right of way. Can't think of any that park sailboats out front. Several Communication towers out back and just to the north. Bee boxes are square and grouped together. Ground monitoring wells (hydrocarbon contamination) is a suggestion - but too numerous and large an area? A historic air photo - or talking to a local would be my suggestion.

Try: Natural - Resources - Gems; along with the rest of the other diamond mines.

Check 2.7km NW. Sure looks like an 8 position SAM site with trenches dug to connect. Beside the (old?) Mirim Airfield. No aircraft - but a large neatly parked collection of vehicles on western part.

Looks like one of Harbour Air's Turbine Single Otters.

Shadow from middle to SW is a tall tower (communication/navigation). Anchor blocks at points of triangle.

Check the link on VG's home page for post Ike imagery flown by aircraft. Loads as a Temporary Places layer. Click on/off the layer to see the damage and debris piles. Covers the coastal and inlet/bay areas. It's a large file.

Bridge Construction underway at this location June 2008.

Wrong Co-ordinates. This looks like a field of sagebrush. Check 8 miles west of this location; 33-01-54N; 112-23W.

Nowhere near Yellowknife. Central Baffin Island - closest "city" is Iqaluit, Nunavut.

The DEW Line is the 1950's variant of the current (NWS) North Warning System updated through the 1980's.

Open Pit construction started - then production ceased early 2008 due to financial issues. Low Canadian $ & high diesel fuel prices being cited.

South of Pskov.

New Imagery shows signifigant changes to original farmland. Also excess material being drained to ocean.

These structures are Ger's/Turt (Tents). Wrong interp. This is the Oyu Tolgoi camp - Ivanhoe Mines.

Recently confirmed that this is the Ft. Knox Gold Project - not a cement plant as originally posted.

Looks like a very dated Live Local Photo. Note the same buildings and sharp shadows south of the current Sport Running Track in modern picture.
