From Google Maps

Move left, and look at the end of the runway - best quaility aircraft picture I've ever seen on GoogleMaps.

I never noticed multiple pictures of the same object before in Google maps/earth. Now I see that most objects are tripled.. I wonder how they get objects like cars, planes, buses to have multiple shots but structures are only 1?

The rate of building dislocation is lower than the frequency at which the plane / satellite makes the photos:p.

Or in other words - the buildings usually don't move that much:D.

What about the 40+ B-52s you can see parked at Barksdale Air Force Base (Louisiana)?

I believe that this link provides a better view of that plane on departure.
