Someone asked me recently how I find all the various aircraft I post about in my collections. So, I'm sharing with you my hunting guide, i.e. my collection that I use to find aircraft in Google Earth and Google Street View. Not everything is super accurate, as its meant for finding aircraft and not to be a 100% accurate, informative collection. There's 2830 placemarks in the collection, so its pretty extensive! Hope this is helpful for y'all in finding aircraft! Have fun!
