In looking around in Google Earth, I found a group of
airplanes that appear to be on static display. They
are in New York City, across the Grand Central Parkway
from the end of Runway 4/22 at Laguardia Airport.
Specifically, they are in a parking lot at the corner
of Ditmars and 90th. Anyone know what this is?

If you are not aware, there is another static display of airplanes in NYC.
In Google Earth, go to 40o 45'53.02 N 74o 00'02.26 W.

This will put you on the west side of Manhattan, overlooking the Hudson
River and straight down on the aircraft carrier, the USS Intrepid, which is
now an airplane museum.

A British Airways Concorde is now a part of the museum, located on a barge
on the opposite side of the dock from the Intrepid, but Google Earth's
aerial picture is a bit too dated to show it.
