Google just bought a company called Keyhole.com. You can download free trial and "fly" to your flying field or track! It is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. You must have windows and a decent graphics card. You literally fly from place to place. It is satellite imagery with some areas having VERY good detail. You can even fly to your own house!

Yes Paul that is a great program. I have never seen anything like it b4 either.

It is a pity that it doesnt do Australia as well as the US. We have cities here that have many millions of people, and it just gives us a dot, no buildings, nothing.
