Google Earth Image: A Plane in Flight


While working this morning with Google Earth, I came across this image. It's just outside of Chicago's O'Hare airport, by the way.

At first glance I thought I was looking an airport, then I realized there weren't any runways nearby. So I asked myself, how did the airplane get there? I then realized that the images are from satellites, of course!, so the plane you see is actually in flight.

Pretty cool, eh?

(The white line is for work; it's not part of the image itself.)
