Outlines

[CYYZGUY]

Hi Rod, I think sometime back I asked for an outline for Niagara Falls International Airport....Air Force reserve base..

I think you said it was obscured by clouds on GE or something like that,

I just looked it up on GE now and it appears very clear..

KIAG is the airport code?  Can it be done?

Alot of Hercs in and out of there..

Cheers,

Jason

Such a shame that the aircraft at Mountain View were mostly worth more dead than alive!

The GE image of Niagara Falls is still burned out (lots of plain white runways and ramps), and shows construction work going on at the intersection of runways 28R and 24, as well as at the threshold of runway 06.

It's dated June 2011, so I hope we'll get an refreshed image soon that will reveal all the missing detail. It's still on the list...

And I've just noticed four planes on display around the ANG base, which makes me even more keen to do it! Make that five - I've jusr spotted a Voodoo!

[CYYZGUY]

A Voodoo?  Where are you seeing that Rod, all I see are 4 Hercs parked on the ramp??


I am on GE now, with an imagery date of May 4th, 2013

I see all runways with no constriction?

Interesting - you're getting a more recent image than me. Yours is dated 5/4/2013 - mine's dated 10/6/2011.

You'll see the construction work in my image - Voodoo circled

Are you moving the slider across to access to most current date?

I know you can go back many years historically........I think by default mine was 2011 as well until I changed it?  Bottom left corner of my screen where it says 1995, when you click on it you can access the slider bar...top left corner and go back to 1995, and all the way to May 2013

cheers,

The image used by Google Maps (and it's the Maps image that the outlining tool uses)  is the default Google Earth image - I can't use more recent images in Earth until they are moved across to Maps - and I doubt if the 2013 image will be as it's blurred and is very wobbly, espcially to the north of the airport.

We'll just have to wait.

Her's a new outline for a Russian airport that has just had an update in Google Earth and Maps:

Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk - UHSS

[RodBearden]

Another refreshed image in Google Earth means a new Polish outline that I've had on my list for ages:

Katowice International - EPKT - known to RadarBox under its previous military name of Pyrzowice.

A new runway is being built to the north of the current one.

New Nevada outline:

Elko Regional, J.C. Harris Field - KEKO

Rod,

We are getting returns from the Tehran area this morning, would you be able to do outlines for the 2 Tehran airports please.

Alan

[RodBearden]

Here's one I've been waiting for for ages - home of the National Air Force Museum of Canada:

CFB Trenton - CYTR

I'm off to Tehran now...

[CYYZGUY]

Thank you sir!

JAson

[RodBearden]

It's a pleasure!

Now Iran's main international airport:

Tehran Imam Khomeini International - OIIE

I've just looked at Mehrabad - it's vast - may not get it finished today!

Many thanks Rod, much appreciated.
