I was absolutely stunned the other day when I was looking at the
aerial view of my glider club (http://skysoaring.com) on Mapquest only
to find that there was a glider on tow complete with shadow! Hard to
tell but it looks like our Schweizer 1-34R being towed by our
venerable L-19 Birddog.


Looks more like the 13 m wings of a 1-26, John. The L-19's wings are
about 12 m, no?

See the Google maps view to find the similarly yellow-colored 1-34
and 1-26 tied down next to one another for comparison:

using these coordinates in the search block:

42.1544, -88.5151

and zoom in to the max.


Make sure "satellite" or "hybrid" view is selected.
