Google Earth Frankfurt Airport

Have you seen on Google Earth that at Frankfurt International in the extension of Runway 07L there are three LH 747-400 in the air, just maybee 250m apart from one another....

Must be that Google Earth takes three pictures in a row in order to produce these images, appearing as if there are actually three airplanes in the air.....

Anyhow, it really looks cool as if they are chasing each other

It's pretty scary how much you can see on those picture of FRA.

Any bets how long it will take to get this thread moved?

That would be my guess... The satellite was moving along, and taking pictures while the plane was also moving.

Since this thread has nothing to do with M&M, I'll move it to the Germany forum under travel and dining.
