Two Old Planes Caught Close Up in Google Earth

Two historic planes in Google EarthTwo old historic planes were caught in flight by the plane capturing aerial photos in North Carolina and added in the last Google Earth imagery update. GEC member 'morgantongis' found the planes , and several members of the GEC have complimented him on the find. The planes are a Grumman Avenger and a North American T-6 Texan / Harvard . See the two planes here and zoom in - you can even read "USAF" on the wing of the yellow one. Amazing find! Thanks to Delta102 for letting me know about this.

A similar show of a plane caught just beneath the aerial camera was found a couple of years ago and is still visible in GE
There are a bunch of people who enjoy looking at the GE imagery for planes captured in flight by either aerial photography or by the satellites. Read more about the planes in flight hobby.
