Outlines

[RodBearden]

Mention of the Luxor Hotel at Las Vegas on the Unusual Network Locatiosn thread reminded me that I did this little outline of the hotel - perhaps others will find it useful. There is an excellent high-res outline of McCarren Airport KLAS available elsewhere.

Oops - used the wrong colour code in the first example I posted - corrected now.

Here's a provisional outline of Al Maktoum International - OMDW, otherwise known as  "Jebel Ali International Airport," "Jebel Ali Airport City" and "Dubai World Central International Airport".

It opened in June 2010, but the Google Earth image is from October 2009, so there's lot's of stuff, including markings, missing.

RadarBox doesn't know about it - go to OMDB and head southwest.

I'll update it when a new image arrives.

Hi Rod,

You know,  I looked today at the landing ANA's second Dreamliner in Tokyo Нaneda, I recognized that she lands on the water :) . Actually they built a new (fourth) runway.  Any chance to update Haneda outline?



Best Regards,
Nick

Thanks for pointing that out, Nick. The Google Earth image is old and shows an early stage of the construction. We have access to the high-res outlines available elsewhere, so I hope that will get updated eventually.

In the meantime, I've done a pretty crude addon outline based on the GE image plus guesswork. You may notice that there appears to be no way of aircraft getting to the new runway from the terminal area - obviously a design fault ;-)

Perhaps it's better than nothing.

Thanks a lot, Rod!

It's absolutely amazing. I don't think that we will need to check GE for future sat images :)

Thanks for that, Nick

Here's a new one for us, in southern Italy:

Reggio Calabria, AKA Aeroporto dello Stretto (Airport of the Strait) - LICR

Californian ga airport:

Hayward Executive Airport - KHWD

Nevada: Reno Stead Airport, home of the annual races - KRTS, but known to RadarBox as 4SD.

As an optional extra, I've done the racing pylons in a separate file. If you zoom in close enough (full screen mode allows you to zoom in much closer) you'll see that they are colour-coded for the different class courses. There's a map of the courses here: http://www.airrace.org/at_the_races/course.php

EDIT - if anyone's interested, I've attached the Google Earth KMZ file that I created to help with the pylons.

All we need now is ADS-B-equipped racers!

Been getting some regular low-level returns from here recently:

Hefei Luogang International - ZSOF (Anhui Province, China)

A replacement airport, Hefei Xinqiao International, is being built, but there's no sign of it on Google Earth yet.

Moroccan air force base, notable for being a Space Shuttle Transatlantic Abort Landing site from 1988 to 2005. RadarBox doesn't know about it - it's north-north east of Menara (GMMX) and east-south east of Safi (GMMS):

Ben Guerir Air Base (no IATA or ICAO code)

Built by the USAF in 1950, it's apparently now a Moroccan F-16 base.
