    Google Earth: Aircraft Scrapyard

    This morning, doing my usual Sunday morning TV surf, I started watching Jeremy Clarkson’s Extreme Machines on that Freeview channel Dave (odd name for a channel). Anyway, towards the end of the show Clarkson was walking through an airplane scrapyard in Arizona. I thought I’d do a search and find it on Google Earth, since it’d pretty obviously be rather easy to see from a satellite. Thanks to GoogleEarthCoolPlaces.com, I found it prettily easily.

    You can check it out on Google Earth here. Its pretty crazy to think all those craft are just sitting idle there in a mass graveyard of once airborne metal.
