This one shows you how long ago some of this images were taken. Here’s Concorde at JFK, presumably before April 2003. I’ve also beeen wondering if the people at Keyhole (Whom Google bought the technology from) had to Photoshop out any planes photographed in flight, as I can’t find any at all…
The Morganza Spillway is a flood management system on the Mississippi River in Louisiana, intended to protect the cities of…
Back to his very origins, humans have chosen to worship physical representations of their deities. Currently the most popular religion…
For centuries, the port of [Aden][w] has served as Yemen’s gateway to the the world. Its distinctive double harbour lies in the crater of an extinct volcano. Over the years, a number of wrecked ships have accumulated in Aden’s harbour, many of which are visible in Google Maps imagery.
Lesotho is one of the most unique countries on the planet. It’s the southernmost landlocked country, the largest country that’s entirely surrounded by another country, and the highest country on Earth. Yet, it doesn’t really show up on too many people’s radar. With the arrival of Google Street View imagery this month to Lesotho, it’s time to shed some light on the world’s largest enclave.
The Netherlands is renowned for being a very flat1 and windy country. In the western town of Rozenburg the strong…

There are several planes visible in Keyhole. The program also seems to have more recent photos. It’s well worth downloading the free trial version.
cool – i was gonna say the logan plane too.
Wow, that is so cool, thanks Matt
If it is indeed the same plane, then I think maybe you can see how the height of the plane varies during landing as the pilot adjusts his trajectory; judging by the distance of the shadow, the ‘third’ plane seems to be lower than the second.
Here is another plane taking off from Vancouver, BC airport:

There’s a plane about to touch down at Ottawa MacDonald-Cartier International Aeroport on runway 070: View Placemark / Google Earth
There’s another one on runway 060L at Toronto Pearson International: View Placemark / Google Earth
Back in May 2002, I took a photo of it sitting in that very spot:

In the Keyhole interface there is a plane flying westbound near Foster Beach, Chicago.
This looks to be a plane coming in to LAX:

Here’s one coming in to land (runway 31R) at DFW: View Placemark / Google Earth
There’s also a series (of one plane, I presume) heading north from Runway 35L.
Here’s a U2 taking off from Beale Air Force Base in California: View Placemark / Google Earth
Here’s what looks to be a DC9 that has just departed from Toronto’s Pearson Intl., (runway 06R).

Look in Timonium, MD near the quarry… I rmember seeing one on my free trial there… if anyone has Keyhole I can email them the placemark
Here is a plane on approach to O’Hare… View Placemark / Google Earth
There may be no planes taken off from JFK… but there is something going on with a plane at the end of one of the runways… check it out… there are bunch of cars/trucks around it/comming to it.

Those vehicles look like emergency vehicles- why else would they come out to the runway like that. Plus, if everything was as planned he wouldn’t have missed the taxiways-these are long runways!
go to Austin, TX’s Bergstrom intl. Follow the river north and east.
I believe most of the planes seen approaching runways for landing are not the same plane, they are just lined up by air traffic control, and are all on the same approach. Look at the DFW post from Robert above: View Placemark / Google Earth the plane appears to be a mid sized prop, if you scroll to the south east in line with the run way, you come to what is clearly a different plane on approach
and another if you keep scrolling SE
Here is another Concorde, this one in Toulouse, France: View Placemark / Google Earth
