The two shuttle launch sites and hangar at Cape Canaveral are quite recognisable. You can can follow the giant roadway from the hangar to the launch sites but it’s only when you zoom right in you realise how big they are.

Please note that some or all of the objects mentioned in this post are no longer visible on Google Earth or Google Maps.

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…

Updated: Turns out that there are loads of planes in flight!
