Touché...

Is that right?

 

[Solid Lifters]

Why don't those weenie French put a flag on their Eiffel Tower?

 

[daan]

There's a huge flag draped over the grandstand at Magny Cours when the GP is on, but it's not there now.

 

[UnoMOTO]

Can't find one. All the flags I find are way too small.

Not far at all...

 

[TheCracker]

Find me an airplane that is just about to land or has just taken off. It can not be over the run way.

I know ones already being found for this - But how about a WWII Lancaster Bomber coming into land?

 

[Solid Lifters]

Can't find one. All the flags I find are way too small.

Ditto. I've looked for well over an hour. That's more than enough time to waste looking for something that's just too small to find.

Let's move along, please. And pic something bigger than a flag to spot.

 

[Gnasha]

Daan was really near, you can find it at Magny-Cours (by the way by flag I also meant looking like a flag and I apologize if this have brough confusion and turmoil)

So let's find a Renault factory to keep it french for a while.

How did I not see that?

 

[TheCracker]

So let's find a Renault factory to keep it french for a while.

How about an old Renault factory at Boulogne-Billancourt on an island?

 

[Gnasha]

Exactly what I was looking for, your turn Cracker.

 

[UnoMOTO]

I know ones already being found for this - But how about a WWII Lancaster Bomber coming into land?

That Bomber is a great find. Here is a few others that I found.

 

[TheCracker]

In a similar vein...

...a car factory with a test track on top

 

[Gnasha]

easy,

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=l&h...,7.666515&spn=0.005816,0.014269&t=k&z=17&om=1

a giant circular track.

 

[UnoMOTO]

a giant circular track.

Is this GIANT enough?

Lets be creative with the next one. The big theme is good so find me anything that would be considered BIG.

 

[GT_Jim]

Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. Is that BIG enough?I would post the Earth, but I thought it's too big.

Thats a good one GT_Jim, that is the type of photo I was looking for. As for the earth that would have been ok. What do you want us to find for you?

 

[GT_Jim]

How about a football match in progress?

 

[UnoMOTO]

Just to make both sides of the pond happy.

Find something that looks out of place. Like Water in the desert.

 

[daan]

Find something that looks out of place. Like Water in the desert.

An aircraft carrier in a lake it can't get out of?

 

[UnoMOTO]

Thats Perfect

 

[daan]

Find me an Ekranoplan. I know of 2 out there, somewhere...

 

[UnoMOTO]

wiki made that easy to find.

A really old....really big...really cool castle would be nice to see.

 

[GT_Jim]

What about that?

This is a confirmation because in google earth it doesn't look like a castle.

 

[UnoMOTO]

Well...I can't really tell that it is....or was a castle. It might have been a castle sometime back but seems to be a pile of rocks now. I have a feeling better could be found.

 

[GT_Jim]

What about this then?

 

[UnoMOTO]

DING...we have a WINNA!
