You should have a look at Pearl Harbour. You can see the remains of the Arizona.

i cant find it, is it the white shadow to the south of Irequois Beach and the mouth of river where it meets the sea??

 

[Glenn]

It's a bit north of Honalulu, very clear, you can see subs in dry dock.

found a plane in the air near city centre frankfurt, looks class.

@Micky photos arent updated, there fixed once you download it but for some reason you have to be connected to the net to use it. If you redownload it after a few weeks there are often some new pics

 

[benkenobi]

there are quiet a few pics of planes in mid air in the "my places" section and even a guy paragliding

 

[PD150]

Tried this myself a while ago, I was checking out Toronto and the suburb I used to live in, it is class!

That's pretty recent for satellite images to be made available to the public. 1 or 2 year old images won't be availble to us because of what they're used for & the costs associated with getting them.
