While browsing Google's new satellite maps, I see one
of the shots
captured a tow plane taking a glider up towards Lake
Pleasant, AZ (Turf
Soaring area). See:

http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=33.84...2&spn=0.007435,

Now that is the dogs wotsits. Where is the airfield
though?


Just south a bit and a little east:

http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=33.84...007435,0.00759

Whoops .. that's the original URL :-(

0.011951923370361328,0.012853145599365234&t=k&hl=e n


To get there by panning, go east until the damn waqll is filling your
screen, then south and you'll see a canal. Follow the canal until the
second bridge over it. The airfield is lust east of the canal.
