I am planning my road trips to and from the Gathering of Mustangs and Legends at the end of the month. I want to see as many aviation sites along the way as possible. Of course I am using the Locator to do this. For those of you who are not familiar with the Locator, you can find the New York entries at...
http://www.aerialvisuals.ca/Locator.php?Region=NY
As you can see the locations of displayed aircraft which are confirmed appear with map links labeled "Exact" and others with a high level of confidence appear as "Eye Sight". These are not the Locations I am concerned with at this point, it is the others labeled "Area" and "Town" for which I would like more details.
Since I won't have time on this trip to tour around looking for displayed aircraft where I am unsure of the locations I will be setting my route and way points depending on the confirmed locations of displayed aircraft. I recently added a number of new locations to the Locator (thanks to books by Michael Blaugher and Andy Marden, see the credits section
http://www.aerialvisuals.ca/LocatorCredits.php ), but due to poor or old satellite images in Google Earth and other services I have not been able to confirm a number of locations. As a result I am turning to WIX for assistance. Hopefully those of you on WIX familiar with New York can help me out.
I am including a list below of sites that I could use some help with. Perhaps you can tell me if the map link is good, or should be moved to another location. To obtain coordinates of locations I recommend Google Earth, but Google Maps works as well, and to read how to do so go to¡K

...and scroll down to "How do I use Google Maps to get coordinates".
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide. I will of course be posting pictures after I get back from the trip. The more locations that can be confirmed, the more pictures will be posted!
