I suggest pressing Control-A after positioning yourself in
Google Earth Flight Simulator (GEFS) at 1000 feet above
the Flying M Ranch. To begin your takeoff from the airstrip,
just enter these coordinates into the GEFS "Fly to" window:
+38 37' 5.20", -119 0' 0.93"

If, while you're flying the GEFS, you do find an interesting
potential crash target, you can telephone in a tip by calling
+1-910-396-0704. Press 4719, when you hear the tone, leave
your name, contact number, latitude, & longitude, and a
description of the area of interest in GEFS.

For bearings, here is a snapshot of your starting point:

Good luck!
