There's an 'A' in the airport code of the city, similar to LAX but its not LAX since its not SkanKat's Orange or Scott's Silver in the satellite picture.

Damn. Now I have to get off this crappy old computer and use "the good one" to find this place via Google Earth.

This better be worth the effort!

Pick me! Pick me!


Got it! It's in Las Vegas baby! Must be a rental car place, right?

Las Vegas Blvd. at Stardust. Across from the Wynn.

What do I sin? Err, win? A free stay at the Wynn? I'm in!


So, now the real question. What the hell are you doing - searching
satellite photos for Prowlers?

Cool Picture DC. Hey! This whole thing brings up a question. I know when I've used google earth the pictures of places I know seem to be at least a year old . . .Any idea how often they're updated or when? It'd be cool if we could get a bunch of prowlers together on that day and line them up somewhere if we could figure out the timing.

Jim: I might be able to get some comp @ the Wynn..maybe we should do a SoCal -> Vegas roadtrip :mrgreen:

As for the satellite pics? I'm trying to locate Prowlers driving in the rain :cool:

Scott: I don't think they update it very often as the satellites are in high demand with a long waiting list of researchers.

Have you folks tried maps.a9.com before they killed it? It was very cool, here's some screenshots:
