Default Interesting google maps shot of LGA

Check out this photo of ops at LGA: http://tinyurl.com/32pon8. Unless
I'm interpreting the photo wrong, there's one jet on a takeoff roll on
31, another jet in position and hold at the threshold, and a third jet
on less than 1/4 mile final.

Are we looking at a go-around about to happen? Or is the guy on short
final just an artifact of how they build the immage mosaic from frames
shot at different times?




Not an expert here by any means, but if you turn on the DG coverage
layer on, it shows the photos days about 5 months apart.
sun shadow angles appear a little off as well..

runway photo date 10-05-2004

short final photo date 3-29-2005

Just my two cents worth..
