It's a latitude and a longitude

If NORTH, it's in the Arizona desert near Yuma.

If SOUTH, it's in the middle of the South Pacific
approx halfway between Chile & New Zealand

Latitude and longitude coordinates. Aviation systems often express these in
degrees and decimal fractions of a degree, intead of degrees, minutes, and
seconds. Some systems also use degrees, minutes, and fractions of a minute.
There are several variations.

Negative longitude (second number) means west, positive east. Positive
latitude means north, negative south.

Those particular coordinates correspond to the Yuma AAF Proving Ground (KLGF),
in Arizona, USA.

The convention is north latitude and east longitude are positive numbers,
south latitude and weat longitude are negative numbers.

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

Yes, not VOR, not a helo, 24 rectangular boxes splined about a central

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?

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.

How about you worded your question poorly? You didn't ask what the
image is. You just gave a series of numbers and asked what the are. You
were told several times. If you had asked what the picture shows you
might have received a better answer.

You're an asshole but I feel in the Easter mood so.............

I have some helpful information for you.

There are exactly two categories of people who might read any article
you post. The first group comprises those who know you're a liar,
an self-exposed idiot, a ****horse and a dickhead.

The second includes only those who have never heard of you.

Your lies and incoherent nonsense just give the first group an
opportunity to laugh out loud at you, and any of the second group who
see that **** of yours and will immediately migrate to the first.

If you want to maintain as good an image as possible, your best bet?

Shut the **** up.

Though every time I read a thread like this I cannot help but think of
Gordon as the lonely kid who hates the prom queen for no other reason
than he has no chance of ****ing her.

I'm sorry but it sounds like jealousy from him. And as a member of the

Oh dear..........he seems to have dropped another rung on the ladder
of total ********.

I think Gordon means well, he's bothered by inability to read through
a thread before his hands automatically alight on the keyboard. Next
thing he knows, clickety-clack - and he's done himself in.

Gordon,

They just came in on your latest tirades. Like coming in at the
middle of the movie. They haven't seen the good you have done in
the past. How about going back to doing that good.

I wonder if it is a compass rose and, if so, its purpose. I have
swung compasses on fixed and rotary wing aircraft and never used such a
thing.

With a magnetic compass the aircraft had engines running and most
systems on. It would be taxied to the 4 cardinal points while a man on
the ground would use a master compass and indicate errors to a man in
the cockpit.

For a slaved compass a single line would be painted on the pavement
during a magnetic survey using an MC-1M or similar system. One edge of
the paint had to be precise, the other was irrelevant. The aircraft
would be parked, nose North, on the line as closely alined to the
accurate edge as possible using plumb bobs. A work sheet had entries for
alinement error. The aircraft would never be moved for the remainder of
the swing. I will omit details of the actual swing. Suffice to say the
flux valve is swung before the aircraft is moved into position using a
transit telescope sighted on a distant target. The flux valve is then
mounted in the aircraft. Then the boring stuff begins.

I looked at Google maps, and Bing.com maps.

It's still better than you did. You gave us a series of digits and
asked what they were. You were told they were latitude and longitude
which answered the question as you put it. At no time did you ask anyone
to look at that location and tell you what is there. Instead you choose
to insult those who tried to help you. Were we supposed to read your
mind to divine what you really wanted to know?

Dan, no need to get upset, calm down, I realize that you failed to
recognize and act on the latitudes and longitudes. Everyone can have a
bad moment, you simply had a bad day.

You're still a divine entity on this newsgroup. :)

It must be female Dan, going by the close correlation in this area
with my Missus.
Ask a question like 'did you manage to get those cable clips?' the
answer will be something like 'its 3 o'clock' (if you are lucky) or a
page worth of why the rain stopped her going to town.
When 'yes' or 'no' would actually answer the question accurately.

Pray tell how does one become *a member* of a public newsgroup? Did
you get your ID card? How about the super double secret handshake?

BTW, your OP was fjuckwitted and Gordon did have a point and you and
your samsockpupper are total arseholes.
You must be embarrassed quite a bit.

It was the comment regarding the importance of one's volume
of posts (implied value regardless of content) that convinced
me... he's the only one I have ever heard make such a stupid
claim.

Now, Dan, I attempted to make an excuse for your horribly poor

Thats what I believe it is, I said it and its up
to someone to prove it otherwise.

John

there are 3 other things possible, that I could think of

1. , a Photo calibration target for recon sat cameras or UAV cameras

2. a landing target for the Golden Knights ,
since Yuma is reportedly thier winter training area.
But I would expect it have their logo in the center.

3 JPADS precision airdrop system test target

Now someone go out and get a photo of it...

Have you considered engaging in the ethical decision described here ?

different-from-abortion-experts-say.html

They argue that it is permissible to kill those who have no chance of
living up to their potential, something you seem to prove rather
regularly.

Make that decision, about yourself

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.

No, it wasn't.

700 meters away

"Tankfixer" you do realize you are the only one who makes this point.
Everyone else is in agreement.

Ever wonder why that is?

It's because, as I said, you are wrong.

Quaalude - 32.866436,-114.385992

"Tankfixer" - 32.86667, -114.38582

Do you see the difference? May I point it out, if I can be of
assistance?

I guess you are much, much better at fixing tanks than copying and
pasting, yes? ;)

Sorry Guys, looked at all the "UFO" pages and they all used the same
default very fuzzy/blurred 5/7/2006 Google Earth image

If you use the Historical images feature and go to the
6/25/2011 image, it clears up considerably.

Compass Rose with a gold colored diamond logo in the center
with white label box at the end of each line.
