I also believe that this image was taken during the Iraq war, and shows aircraft and other equipment parked on the runway to prevent Coalition aircraft from landing.

I thought that now I could see everything bigger than 3 inches that I could recognize on the ground. Well I think I am wrong about what it means. No bear cans in the yard and worse, I could motorhome but not the 2ft ac's on the roof. Anyone know the correct meaning of xinches or xmeters resoution?
