For you airliner nuts out there, do yourself a favor and do the following:

1) Download Google Earth and
2) Go here: http://www.fboweb.com/antest/ge/intro.aspx

Be sure to tilt the view over an airport that has a couple of final approaches coming inbound.

I guess I'm a cheap date, because Google Earth entertains the Hell out of me...

...or I simply may be sick in the head. In any case, it's a pretty cool use of the program.

Odd. First click it screwed up; the second and ongoing tries had it pop right up.

Give it another shot.

I love Google Earth. I managed to overlay a few 1900s maps from my area .. turns out there were a lot more roads between houses back then.

I too am getting an error on these though. The link works, but the files won't open in Earth.
