Default Google Earth Heathrow 9L approach


"news.east.cox.net" wrote in message news:f2T%

I'm looking at the approach end of 9L at Heathrow on Google Earth.

Look right over the numbers, then look back a few hundred feet.


Actually, he's back about 1800 feet. Now look forward about 1800 feet from
the craft over the numbers. Now, look 1500 feet forward of that. Odd. Now
look at all the shadows. It appears that the plane over the numbers may be
a bit off the ground, while the two craft ahead on the runway are actually
on the ground, and the craft 1800 feet back on final is higher up still.
