A little Google Earth fun?

What have we here? Where are we?

This is bugging the heck out of me, I've spent about the last 45 minutes trying to figure out where that is!

And to think, I was all excited when I saw there had been another response to this thread, thought I might have my answer finally... but that wasn't exactly what I had in mind. LOL... thanks though, John.

What have we here?

4-engined thing is an Electra/Orion, looks like a Phantom, a T-6, a Skyraider(?), an S2F, mebbe a couple of L-29s or tweets, and an aircraft carrier painted in the grass.

Any coordinates to this location?

[Ztex]

THings you find when your bored.


Think South America...

38°44'8.26"S 62° 9'53.36"W

And I don't think it's an F-4.

Don't cry for me Argentinaaaaa......


I punched the coordinates into Google Earth, and did a litte more googling around. It's the Museo de la Aviación Naval on the grounds of the naval air station at Bahia Blanca, Argentina (Base Aeronaval Comandante Espora.)

I can't find a wbsite, but pics of some of the aircraft are here: [/url]http://www.airliners.net/search/photo.search?front=yes&s=1&keywords=argentina%2Bnavy+museum[url]

<edit> can't seem to get the hotlink to work...



There's a half-hour I'll never get back...

If it's in Argentina, there's probably a T-28 in there.
