| jbottero | 2006-12-15 19:48:21 | Central Pier | Take a look in Google, and note most of the pier is not there. Now, look at the edge of the pier: Are those *half* umbrellas? Photoshop? |
| jbottero | 2006-12-15 10:00:59 | Cool Crest Golf Course | Put-put golf... |
| jbottero | 2006-12-13 20:33:28 | F-4 Phantom targets | Man, there are nasty little air strips all over Eglin. |
| jbottero | 2006-12-12 08:53:49 | WWF Oasis "Gli Astroni" | The World Wrestling Federation has sanctuaries in Italy? Who knew! |
| jbottero | 2006-12-10 18:57:43 | Pool in the Spree River | I only see one. Are there more? |
| jbottero | 2006-12-10 18:21:43 | Censored Vessum | A very special stand of trees? |

| jbottero | 2006-12-06 21:09:50 | Flying What | That's kind of neat. It really does look like part of some test aircraft... |
| jbottero | 2006-12-06 15:24:45 | Censored Yonkers | Sewage treeatment? Fish farm? Secret killer Navy dolfin ranch? |
| jbottero | 2006-12-04 19:58:23 | Censored near Sersheim | If you zoom out, there doesn't seem to be anything of interest there... |
| jbottero | 2006-12-03 17:56:54 | Hygiene, Colorado | Clean livin' in Colorado, where apple pie is THE menu... |
| jbottero | 2006-12-02 13:45:22 | F-4 Phantom at Mirimar | It's right next to the fire training pit. Must be for egress training. Maybe abandoned now. |
| jbottero | 2006-12-01 16:22:00 | Censored white spot | An antenna? Missile battery? |
| jbottero | 2006-11-30 17:14:05 | FEMA Trailers - Katrina | So the perpendicular ones at the ends are to keep 'em tipping over like dominos? |
| jbottero | 2006-11-28 22:43:38 | Unidentified Runway | Or more likely, likes to fish... |
| jbottero | 2006-11-28 22:40:49 | Unidentified Runway | That's a pretty nice runway. Someone likes to fly... |
| jbottero | 2006-11-27 21:51:36 | 'S&M Building Materials' | "Ouch" |
| jbottero | 2006-11-25 01:10:23 | Firefox Crop Circle | Is it a sat picture or an aerial picture spliced in? |
| jbottero | 2006-11-21 13:02:07 | Bernie Robbins Stadium | Er, I mean "Qwest Field", as in Qwest Communications, the phone company... |
| jbottero | 2006-11-21 13:01:19 | Bernie Robbins Stadium | Yup. We have "Quest Field" here in Seattle... Surprised it's not "Microsoft Field". Really makes ya think of baseball... |
| jbottero | 2006-11-21 11:25:37 | Bernie Robbins Stadium | I'm told that it's actually known by "locals" as The Sandcastle... |
| jbottero | 2006-11-20 21:36:14 | Interesting Groove in Algerian Desert | It looks like the "tip" is actually off the ground... |
| jbottero | 2006-11-17 23:02:42 | Odd Markings Near Djibouti | I'm not sure it's military, though it might be. There are lots of things next to the airport. I think it might be water / gas because there are pipes that lead from the circles to the building. |
| jbottero | 2006-11-05 20:32:49 | Movie Set at Downey Studios | Former NASA / Boeing facility:

| jbottero | 2006-11-05 20:27:25 | Reider Ranch landing strip (private) | That's a runway, eh? |
| jbottero | 2006-10-31 13:24:50 | C-124C Globemaster and C-141B Starlifter | The description of the McChord Air Museum ( http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/6672/ ) says these birds are now located behind... |
| jbottero | 2006-10-31 13:23:12 | McChord Air Museum - Old Location | The description is incorrect. The C-141B and a C-124C where NEVER parked anywhere near the museum. They are currently located overlooking the runwau at:

| jbottero | 2006-10-27 23:21:13 | Lots of something | Bails of cotton? |
| jbottero | 2006-10-25 23:43:32 | Jet Near Palmdale | Is it an A-10? |
| jbottero | 2006-10-25 23:32:54 | U-2 Being Assembled in the Desert | I can't find the radar stuff, where's it at? |
| jbottero | 2006-10-24 23:58:04 | Car in trouble | It's between New York and Jersey... Looks like they dump more than cars there, my guess is it's just an easy way to get rid of dead cars. Jersey is an arm pit. |
| jbottero | 2006-10-20 09:42:23 | Planned community - roads but nothing else | These "communities" are generally land scams. People buy "ranchettes" sight unseen, and find out they are out in the middle of the desert with no water or power. Landauctions.com sells a lot of... |
| jbottero | 2006-10-19 11:45:48 | TU-134 converted into a home | It doesn't seem to be near an airport, wonder where they towed it from? |
| jbottero | 2006-10-17 12:11:35 | Odd censorship | What’s odd to me is that the level of pixilation is so minor that I’m not sure what they are hiding. You can see the layout of the base, what kind and how many aircraft, the general purpose of... |
| jbottero | 2006-10-16 21:33:36 | Western Air Defense Sector Command Center | WADS is actually just the part of the building on the left. The part on the right houses the Com Squadron, the library, the education center, and some civilian personnel functions. |
| jbottero | 2006-10-16 10:16:58 | Multi-purpose Logistics Module for the Space Shuttle | Maybe just a mock-up? The "real" one wouldn't be sitting out in a parking lot, I think. |
| jbottero | 2006-10-15 20:10:20 | Jug Shaped Building | This building is now a very sleazy stip club. |
| jbottero | 2006-10-15 01:07:09 | Odd Chinese aircraft facility | Some sort of launching device? |
| jbottero | 2006-10-14 21:52:58 | Heliport | Evergreen Air, the CIA air line, has operations here. |
| jbottero | 2006-10-14 21:49:24 | Howard Hughes H-4 Hercules (inside) | By the way, Evergreen Air used to be the CIA airline, mostly during Viet Nam... |
| jbottero | 2006-10-14 21:47:14 | Howard Hughes H-4 Hercules (inside) | Are you sure? Is it bigger than the C-5 or the Russian cargo jets? |
| jbottero | 2006-10-13 22:44:54 | Red and White C-130s #81 and #86 | Fire fighting planes? |
| jbottero | 2006-10-13 22:43:20 | High Society at Stellar City Airpark | Follow the road down to the end of the cul-de-sac. On the left in the picture, on the roof, are those solar cells? |
| jbottero | 2006-10-11 15:35:32 | Aircrew Disembarking From KC-135 Stratotanker | The 135's are no longer based at Portland. |
| jbottero | 2006-10-10 08:22:16 | 'Til The Cows Come Home | Oh, their goin' home, alright. It's a feed lot. Next stop, the slaughter house! |
| jbottero | 2006-10-07 20:01:07 | Cemetery in an Interstate Highway median | Very interesting. Any additional info on this? |
| jbottero | 2006-10-07 00:22:38 | Oops! Airplane in the side of a building | Theme restaurant? |
| jbottero | 2006-10-06 11:57:52 | C-5 and C-130 test beds | There's the tail end of a C-141 there, too... |
| jbottero | 2006-10-06 10:22:16 | Flying the Flag | Is that Cletus Spuckler's place?

| jbottero | 2006-10-06 10:02:59 | Boeing 720-051B with five engines | Isn't that the specially modified 707 that they can mount a test engine on the side of? |

But neither seem to be there anymore. |
| jbottero | 2006-10-05 11:02:38 | Thunderchief Row | I get the impression that this whole set-up is part of the dog training facility. Makes sense that they want the dogs to be familure with air field operations. |
| jbottero | 2006-10-05 11:00:59 | Plane Wreckage near Nellis | I agree. The "bomb dump" next to it is a training facility. |
| jbottero | 2006-10-05 00:24:42 | Ambulance and Gurny near helicopter mishap | There's no real activity around the helo, or even near-by. Also note the ladder at the rear, there is maintenance going on. Speculation: training set-up. |
| jbottero | 2006-10-05 00:09:05 | Fuselages | Up the road, across from the parade ground and large barracks building are a complex of diagonal buildings on the west side of Carswell and Selfridge, that at least when I drove by in 2004 indicated... |
| jbottero | 2006-10-04 19:50:06 | American police car in Germany | The "stong arm" of The Law has a long reach! |
| jbottero | 2006-10-04 19:48:59 | White F-117 Nighthawk | Well, it's definatly not Have Blue, but it looks vaery much like an F-117 to me. And it is at the Skunk Works, so maybe it's an F-117 with experimental body mods... |
| jbottero | 2006-10-04 00:23:34 | Resting Place of the Man in Black | You would think Johnny Cash would want to be burried someplace nice, instead of this "lawn cemetary" located between a shopping mall and a tacky housing develoment. Sad. |
| jbottero | 2006-10-03 17:20:07 | First Nuclear Powered Town in World | I'm wondering how this "jives" with the Fort Belvoir SM-1 Nuclear Reactor being the first nuclear power reactor in the U.S. to provide electricity to a commercial power grid? Seems to me both can't... |
| jbottero | 2006-10-02 20:33:44 | Burned store | Much of Detroit is like this. When people think of American "ghetto", The Bronx in NY often comes to mind, but that's history. Today, Detroit and East St. Louis both eclipse The Bronx by miles... |
| jbottero | 2006-10-02 09:01:29 | Mtwara Airport (HTMT) | What's that off to the side at the 19 end? Are these gun emplacements? |

| jbottero | 2006-10-01 13:16:12 | Abandoned and decaying factory | Looks like the administrative buildings are occupied. Just to the right (east?) and across the rail tracks you will see a hazardous waste clean-up project. It looks like a field, but is more likely a... |
| jbottero | 2006-09-27 13:55:55 | KC-135 Stratotanker Landing at Nellis AFB | Position on the runway and attitude of the nose, I think it's taking off. |

| jbottero | 2006-09-24 15:05:45 | Taliesin West | Great find! |
| jbottero | 2006-09-22 18:01:44 | Predator Drone Taking Off From Remote Airstrip | It's a UAV. Some have been modified for missiles. No reason to believe that they will can not be modified for other missions as well. UAV seems like a good all-around class. |
| jbottero | 2006-09-21 16:56:10 | Love Canal Site | Wow, I'm surprised this wasn't already in... |
| jbottero | 2006-09-21 13:23:28 | Unusual secure Air Force facility | Also, note the "fake" street scean / village. |
| jbottero | 2006-09-21 13:22:06 | Unusual secure Air Force facility | I think whatever is going on there, it has to do with training, Lackland is an ATC base. |
| jbottero | 2006-09-21 13:21:17 | Unusual secure Air Force facility | Notice that it's right next to a bomb dump. And, they deal with a lot of nukes at Lackland and Kelley Annex. Could be related.
Also, in the Live pics, note the parking lot full of... |
| jbottero | 2006-09-20 10:45:37 | Caterpillar Tractor Proving Grounds | I think it's been turned into a housing subdivision... |
| jbottero | 2006-09-20 09:04:17 | Military Issue Water Slides? | Come on! They may be emergency slides, but whatever they are, it's not related to rockets... |
| jbottero | 2006-09-19 18:07:45 | 'Argo' by Alexander Liberman | Or maybe it's a pile of dicarded scrap? |
| jbottero | 2006-09-19 18:06:37 | Centaur Upper Stage outside NASA wind tunnel | I'm a little amazed to see this on both Live and Google since it's not a static display... |
| jbottero | 2006-09-19 10:04:59 | A-26B Invader 44-34609 (N4819E) at Buckeye Municipal Airport | This is an interesting airport to me because the new single runway with parallel taxiway and apron, which is what we traditionally see today, though it is "superimposed over the old triangle shaped... |

| jbottero | 2006-09-16 14:44:25 | F-4's at Miramar | Our guys train against them because there are still people flying them. The also use F-4s as drones (though these are not drones). |
| jbottero | 2006-09-16 00:03:20 | SR-71 | These are absolutely the most amazing aircraft I've ever seen take off, and are quite interesting up close. I was stationed at Beale AFB in the late 1980's, and spent a lot of hours watching these... |
| jbottero | 2006-09-14 16:46:44 | Huey Heaven | You're not kidding, 19 Huey bodies in the parking lot alone... |

| jbottero | 2006-09-13 17:48:17 | U.S. Navy Marine Mammal Program | Dolphins with laser beams on their heads? |
| jbottero | 2006-09-13 11:48:14 | Maze near Het Loo royal palace | The last royal occupant of Het Loo was Queen Wilhelmina, having given to castle to the State in 1962. Now, her daughter, Queen Juliana, took up residence at Soestdijk Palace, which I can't find on... |

| jbottero | 2006-09-11 10:02:21 | F-16 armed to the hilt | The positioning of the hangers and the security parameter suggest that these are “alert birds”, fully armed fighters manned by crews 24/7 ready to launch in very short periods of time. Most... |
| jbottero | 2006-09-08 16:19:41 | Dwyer Hill Training Centre, Joint Task Force 2 | Wonder what the purpose of the long field with the many bridges (???) crossing it is... |
| jbottero | 2006-09-08 11:26:21 | Worst camouflage ever | Maybe it looks different in NVG gear. |
| jbottero | 2006-09-08 09:41:21 | ATG Javelin at Centenial Airport | On second thought, there are actually a number of small jet trainers that look a lot like the T-38... |
| jbottero | 2006-09-08 09:38:09 | ATG Javelin at Centenial Airport | T-38 Talon / F-5 is my bet. See the small intakes on the sides (F-16 has a single large intake under the belly)? Looks a lot like a 2 seat T-38 Air Force trainer. |
