Thanks for sharing Jeff. That will be a really useful planning tool!
We were worried that day - Vintage parking wasn't even past "Fond Du Lac City Limits." It filled up about Wednesday.
I'm giddy as a schoolgirl, showing everyone at work AirVenture!! They're obviously impressed. lol
I was just on Google Earth, and noticed the updated shot from above...came here to post it, and ya beat me to it! Great update!!:cool:
Did anyone find any naked people in those there yet like on...

The naughty bits are covered.
Cool, I can see my VW parked behind the Young Eagles building!
Awesome, looks like the picture was right after my sister arrived. Her van is in our campsite but her "taj ma tent" isn't erected yet!
Scroll east a few miles, the seaplane base is filled as well.:cool:
I concur with the exact same time estimate. We arrived at about 11am Monday, and had just put the awning out on the camper and had lunch between 1 and 2, then left for the show on the Gator. The picture shows our awning out, and the Gator is gone. :cool:Quote:

I concur with the day and time, although I'd put it closer to 14:30:Quote:

3) The bus and stage for the young people's singing group isn't at Pioneer Airport and the crowd isn't indicative of Saturday (I believe the group left Friday)
4) The pallets of chairs hadn't been delivered to the area of the chapel yet
5) There's no scarring of the dirt north of 36L
6) The spectators are starting to fill in at the airshow line
7) There don't seem to be any real lines at the various food venues
8) The tower and VOR are superb sundials, the VOR especially. Solar noon was at 12:58 CDT on the 25th and the shadow of the VOR antenna is pointing at about 14:00, so it's getting close to 15:00 CDT
9) I can barely read my watch as I'm standing outside Pioneer hangar trying to get a good signal on my iPhone.*
BTW, I tried to find inbound A/C, but Google doesn't show the ATC trailer at Fisk, so the images in that area must be from a different date. It's pretty cool how seamlessly they composite this stuff. It'd be neat if they have overheads for that area during the show that they could add in.

*OK, that was over the top, but that's what happens when you wake up at 0300 for no apparent reason.
This is great to see, need to arrange for Google Street view to do a drive through at next Airventure?
I see my tent on google maps sat view....cool
