Here is a strange one. Take a look at the glider over the end of
runway 36 at Seminole-Lake Gliderport in Florida. The glider appears to be on tow but there is no towing aircraft? Doesn't look like a motorglider? The shadow of this glider on the ground does not appear to be small enough to place the plane very high and the position is not going to put it in a normal pattern. Only thing left is a high speed swoop into a climb and abbreiviated pattern and landing I suppose. The field looks crowded but not so much as to be a contest? Seniors brings in about 50 gliders. Something to ponder... Sorry, don't have co-ordinates. To find many more gliders on Google Earth: 1. Point your web browser tohttp://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/search.php 2. Enter into the "keyword search terms" field: glider sailplane (optional: click on "in subject" radio button) and click the Submit button. 3. You will get a long list of forum posts. I get 582 hits. In the posts, there are buttons to open the Google Community placemark in either Google Earth or Google Maps. Have fun. |
