In the Saratoga Passage, Washington, there appear to be four planes flying in very close formation. Although it could just be an image overlay problem (there appears to be a seam between them) the four ‘motion ghosts’ are all in the same frame, making me believe it to be genuine.

The small, square wingspan (about 22 feet with the ruler, assuming they are flying low) makes them likely to be aerobatic planes, but I can’t identify which model, sadly.

I’m hoping this isn’t a repeat of the last time planes in formation were featured on Google Sightseeing, as it turned out to be a case of photoshop shenanigans!

The Google Lat Long blog has announced that Google has just added 12 more US cities to their street view coverage, bringing their total coverage to, um.. lots. The new cities added are as follows:

• Albany and Schenectady, NY
• Boise, ID
• Juneau, AK
• Kansas City, MO
• Manchester, NH
• Milwaukee, WI
• Research Triangle Park (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill), NC
• San Antonio, TX
• Salt Lake City, UT

And presumably just for today (because today is Valentine’s Day in case you’d forgotten), it seems the little Street View guy is standing on a little love heart.

Aww, puke.
