Here is a $2.1 billion B-2 stealth bomber at Edward’s Air Force Base, and here is its sister the $122 million F-117 stealth fighter.

This is the blimp airdock at Akron Fulton Airport, in Akron, Ohio. Completed in 1929, it was the world’s largest structure without interior supports. Originally built by Goodyear, it is now owned by Lockheed Martin.

Here is a great shot of a blimp over the beaches of Clearwater Beach, Florida.

I didn’t expect submarines to be found easily, but we’ve actually had quite a few. The first is in Point Loma peninsula in San Diego Harbor, CA. Directly in the centre of that map, next to the dock, is a narrow black torpedo-looking thing. That’s the submarine.

The Norfolk, VA naval base is apparently the biggest naval station in the world. You can see at least 4 submarines, 2 air carriers, 2 helicopter carriers and 27 other warships.

In NYC is the USS Intrepid museum, a carrier from the Vietnam War. There’s some ground level shots and a map of the different planes parked here on the Intrepid Museum site. On the northeast side of the pier is the USS Growler, “the only intact strategic nuclear missile submarine open to the public anywhere in the world.”

Well it’s my own fault really. Since I posted that I hadn’t seen any planes in flight, we have been absolutely inundated with submissions proving that I was completely wrong. Glad to hear it, ‘cos some of these are really cool.

• Ryan (Cool shadow – look about 4 plane widths west)
• nowak (Can you find the shadow? I think its all the way over here)
• Arvo Huru (Anyone know what kind of plane that is?)
• Eric Thelin
• Brian Lalor
• Miker
• Chris (Pink plane. You sure its not parked though? I can’t see a shadow anywhere!)
• Matt (From the comments – Three at once! Very cool but is it really three planes, or just one?)
• Geoff Sulcer (Tiny little one)
• Jason (This is the one in our first picture)
• Colin (This one is huge! Or perhaps just very high up…)
• Tobic (Another three planes?! One just off the top and another just off the bottom)
• Kent (Kent says this is a U2 spyplane!)
• josh k (Quite a few of the planes have this weird blue ‘ghost’ in addition to their shadows, perhaps its due to their speed…)
• caknuck (…or perhaps its a reflection?)
• Arvo Huru (Now that’s fast!)
• Stilt (Apparently this is over Graceland)
• Rod Levin (This is the one in our second picture)
• Tom (This is cool, its a razor sharp image. Can’t find the shadow though.)
• DDA (And finally… toy-town planes!)

Couple of extra plane related ones, first from punk floyd, who says that this is a SR-71 Blackbird Reconnaissance plane parked on Beale AFB, and also from Allen Ormond, who fittingly points us towards the Wright Brothers National Memorial in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. This is where the Wright Brothers made the first powered airplane flight.

Many thanks to everyone who submitted links but didn’t get a mention, there were just far too many of you!
