planedriver Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 There must be so many unusual sights that are best seen from the air. For starters, how about Australia, just NW of the Old Bar airstrip and east of Heron Road. Looks to me like it has been laid out with the aid of a GPS? Post other unusual sights for all to see.

pudestcon Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I've forgotten how to take a snapshot off Google Earth, but try these co-ordinates. The image is getting very hard to see as it was done many years ago now.

I'm no computer guru, but I hope this helps. Rgds Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty 1 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Another one from just south of Old Bar. It's good for a laugh when you tell the pax to spot the shark. They get frustrated when they can't see it in the water.[ATTACH]47392._xfImport[/ATTACH] Cheers Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
