Yes, thank you I am very aware it is a lat/long. Did anyone actually
search Google Maps/Earth for the view?

I don't know.

I do and did and I have no idea what that runway markings are. They
appear to be painted, not VOR.

Yes, not VOR, not a helo, 24 rectangular boxes splined about a central
foci on an accessory runway. *?????

Google Maps provides a better resolution than Earth as does Bing.

you ask a question and then get ****ty..? do you get a *lot* of good
responses that way?



Not only that but the lat/long he posted is hundreds of meters from the
point he claims to be interested in.

32.86667, -114.38582

Would have dropped you nearly right on the point of interest.

here's a thought - since you knew you were sending everyone off on a
stupid rabbit hunt anyway - why not say in your OP, "I found something
that looks odd sitting on an unused runway in Yuma - anyone
know..?" VASTLY different than being the jerk you are now, and the
first 10 replies would have been to your true question, instead of
wasted trying to figure out WTH you really wanted to know.

I maintain he didn't KNOW what he wanted to know...
