I won't mind to wait few more month to prove you are wrong.
:roll: I am quite optimistic.
Also it appears very large parts of Iran are now covered. check out the large air assault base on the west side of terhan with many helos. Also Bandar Abbas and areas are detailed pretty good. Also found a base in north eastern china with 70+ J-8 and J-7. This was not a scrape yard but looks like a active base...Huge base pretty cool
I now have google Earth and I must say it is the coolest computer game ever, like "Play Cold war Spies".... I swear I see missiles in Cuba!!!!
But seriously, there should be a thread with all the highlights, maybe country by country. For interesting comparrison, look at some British bases (USAF inc) and look at Taiwanese and Chinese.... a world apart in terms of shelters etc. And Kuwait has some awesome bases.

Yeas that was good close up of the one of the two ships that looks more of 051C. But the one on the pier side looks somewhat smaller and narrowed, and it looks too blurry to tell wheter it has VSLs or not....
But once im back at my own computer, I check it myself.....

Thanks Totoro re GE coverage, I am new to this !
However, still puzzled....the area around my building, which appears to have been covered with 2006 imagery, most certainly does not look like it does on the sat pic ! How do they overlay new stuff over old stuff ???

Well i looked and looked and yeas, it seems I was wrong, tough I still have some doupts. I calculated it and the ship in the pierside is in fact shorter than the ship in the drydock...This all can be just the error caused by the distance and the lins of the satelite but...so you won but i reserve a remach untill the both ships sail and we can look for additional details...
Thanks for this.
Also in Qingdao

Qingdao Naval Museum - interesting place, I was there in 2003 - they have an ex USN LST ; the frigate Kunming (Chinese copy of Soviet Riga) ; destroyer Chi Lin (ex Soviet Retivy) ; and another ship I don't have details for, plus a 1960s vintage diesel sub (you can go inside it) and assorted old aircraft, ship guns and AFVs (I've got pics somewhere if anyone is interested)
36 03' 18" N 120 17' 16" E
What's this then ? These pretty large aircraft are right down by the sea. Seaplanes ????
Talking of curiosities...
31 06'15" N, 121 00' 55" E
Now how did that get there ???? !!!!!
It's a theme park at Dianshan Lake, west of Shanghai. The "carrier" is a mock up. There are also some artillery guns under funny little covered postions and a "trench system" next to it. All very wierd. They sure love their carriers huh !
On the lakeside itself, the long enclosed stretches of water are part of a canoe training school - where they train Olympic canoeists I believe. I was out there with some sailing friends couple of years ago.

Google updates Google Earth
Google Inc., the Internet search giant, recently released its updates for its satellite imagery and map products. The update comes a year after the launch of its popular mapping tool "Google Earth".
The company announced that about 100 million people have downloaded Google Earth software since it was offered a year ago and more than 30,000 websites integrate their own items of information into Google Maps.
New tools for Google Maps are designed to fashion buildings as 3-D structures by the user.
Whereas the previous Version 3 was only available for Windows XP/2000 and Mac OS X from Version 10.3.9 upwards, the new Version 4 Beta also comes in a Linux guise.
Being offered in French, Italian, German and Spanish, Google Maps, the update of the software will quadruple the use of land than its predecessor, enabling about one-third of the world's population to obtain an aerial view of their homes and neighborhood.
The company also announced that it will license usage of its online maps to businesses that want to customize the service.
