If for any reason you want to go from USA to… USA there is only one way to achieve that. You have to go to Kansas , at CR-3900 and head east, toward CR-2600.

I am not sure if there is another way to go from USA to USA but i will check it. Until then don’t you forget, you have to Head EAST! I hope that Heading west will not teleport you to Canada :P

US Airforce Graveyard From Google Earth

In Sonora desert, Arizona, a bit outside Tuscon, lies the biggest airplane cemetery in the world. US Airforce base Davis Monthan is where many airplanes go to be scrapped or taken apart for their spare parts

I spotted it on Google Earth and I have to say that I have never seen so many airplanes gathered. I doubt if the people there know exactly how many airplanes there are in this base.

To understand the magnitude of this base, see to what a small dot corresponds.

I include an interactive add on from Google Maps so you can easily zoom in and out.

Drug Dealer In Google Maps?

A strange story has started from a picture found in Google Maps. Street View, a function of Google Maps, shows pictures taken from a specialised road vehicle with the intention to show us how the real street/area looks like. This can become the nightmare of all criminals.

The photograph above shows some sort of money transaction taking place and many speculate that this is a drug selling. Nevertheless Google has decided to take down this photo.

I am curious to find out why Google was forced to do so. Was there a reaction from the guy in the photo or were they afraid that there might be one?. Its not easy to have your picture posted online and everybody to assume that you are dealing drugs :)
