Hi Folks,
First off, apologize for the long URLs.
Was visiting a geek site the other day, and ran across a really cool
shot. It is a shot of a cruise missile in flight. The addy for this
shot, located on Google maps, is as follows:
>http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=38%C2%B013%2736.38%22N,+112%C2%B017%2756.59%22W&layer=&ie=UTF8&om=1&z=18&ll=38.22631,-112.298598&spn=0.002284,0.006738&t=k&iwloc=addr
I found that this was really neat, and wanted to share it with everyone.
It's not real often when something like this would happen. I decided
to research where this shot was taken. As best I can figure, it was
taken north of Circleville Utah. Here is the page where I ended up:
>http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=38%C2%B013%2736.38%22N,+112%C2%B017%2756.59%22W&layer=&ie=UTF8&om=1&z=9&ll=38.183148,-112.298126&spn=1.170144,3.449707
I will yield to anyone who is a "local" to southwest or south central
Utah. I don't know where this missile was headed. I was stationed at
Hill AFB (a.k.a. "Hill Field") for four years, but I'm not very
conversant in that part of the state. I just thought that the folks in
this NG would find it interesting.
Enjoy.
Rick
