The overhead view is a lot more recent than the street view of our area. We serviced the airplanes they used for the mapping.

Here's Earl at the airport (red arrow)

Google hasn't updated in my old area in a couple years. This is my old 76 GMC in prolly December 07- Jan 08, it got torn down shortly there after. Never made it back together. Proof that I need to learn how to TIG weld.

Google map's always has some intresting tidbits. For example..Search Rachel, Nv on satilite veiw and see what you get. You may have to zoom in.

Well, sadly, the google car hasn't been by my house in a while, So I don't have a street picture of my truck. But I do have a satellite view from when my truck was still in my driveway with the engine out. My dad was towing then and 2 of the 3 tow trucks were at my house. Did you guys PrtScn and edit it in paint and post it?

now, this is interesting...saw it on CNN today....must be nice to be a billionaire and own your own island in Abu Dabai and can pay people to spend months writing your name in the sand two miles long...
