Two A380's on Google Maps

http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=4...&t=k&z=17&om=1

There is also a few A340-500/600s in that picture as well. Looks like they are being readied for delivery. I see one for EY, two for VS, one for QR, and an unidentified one.

Just spotted this as well: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=4...&t=k&z=19&om=1

Looks like their transport plane. There are two more located just a little farther north.

Awesome find. They are easy to spot at that size.

Don't miss the poor Concorde all on her own on the left

Nice! There's another Concorde a little bit farther to the top left and another A380 toward the top. I'm also counting 4 jet guppies and 1 turboprop one.

The Concorde to the far left is the first Concorde built, S/N 001. Thanks to FlyerTalk, I've been inside it .

To build on redbeard911's calling us geeks, how many Concordes (full size - the model at LHR doesn't count) can you find?

BAE/Concorde 101, was the third Concorde built and was used as the instrumented testbed. It also set the Concorde and can be found at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, UK. This one is open to the public in the museum. Since it is indoors, I didn't include a Google maps link.

AF Concorde 205 is at the Smithsonian's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center near IAD. Currently indoors. Earlier this year, Google's imagery was old enough to show the Center under construction and 205 sitting outside south of concourse C. Today's Google satellite view looks to be older and I can't find 205 at IAD.

OK, that's 3. How long to find them all?
