Never mind. So the collection may be downloaded more often.

That clue was required to limit the possibilities

thanks for the clue(s) and thanks to SpiderX22 and willi1 for their KMZ files

btw, those airplane puzzles are interesting because (since i know nothing about that domain)(with the exception of the history of the Wright Bros., that i know a little (i read Tobin's "To conquer the air")) it's a challenge for me to identify such machines.
question: in CJM's capture, is this a MD80 or a MD90?

Hey krenek -

I have only had a few minutes to look, but....

At quick look it looks like an MD-90. The newer engines required new pylons to connect them to the body. They are wider and extend past the engine. At AA we had a huge Mad Dog fleet. I'll look deeper later and maybe prove myself wrong!

MD-80






MD-90

Well done all!
