As noted in this blog before, some aviation fans like to try and find planes in flight in the satellite and aerial photos of Google Earth. Some of the fans like to identify planes found in flight or on the ground. There are collections of all SR-71s 
(aka Blackbirds), and unique planes like the Lancaster Bomber. Someone called “Cyclonic” at the Google Earth Community posted an ID helper showing various identified planes and example screenshots from Google Earth. The helper includes basic measurements of length and width of the planes which is useful when you use the GE Measure tool. Cyclonic has found a large number of planes in flight himself. The screenshot shown here shows just a sample of the ID collection.
