The goal is to create a compendium of ALL the airlines from A to Z using both Google Streetview (SV) and Photo Sphere (PS) (ground level views) and Google Earth (top down views). Each month, we go through a different letter of the alphabet (A, B, C, ... G...Z) and everyone will share links (SV/PS) and/or google earth kml files (and a pic thereof) of an airplane showing the livery of an airline whose name starts with the letter of that month (example: A = American Airlines, C = Copa Airlines, I = Icelandair), etc. The plane must be on the ground (parked or taxiing). You may need to go into historical imagery to find defunct airlines! Ideally just one image/file per airline, unless you're posting a different livery (old livery, retro livery, special livery) of that airline. This thread is an index of each monthly thread. |

Google Earth has probably been "cleaned up" again. Historical layers with good resolution have disappeared and so many finds are no longer reproducible.  A striking example is Paris Orly Airport. Only historical layers with poor resolution are left here. Several good layers in the time slider are gone! (And as a result, several airline finds are worthless)

Yea I was wondering about this!! I honestly wouldn't mind (and understand needing to save space) their cleaning up and removing low resolution historical data, but the way they've cleaned up is really frustrating, since they've removed a lot of good resolution imagery and kept a a whole bunch of low resolution imagery. With how often they remove Google Street View imagery (and then randomly bringing it back in the future), I'm honestly not surprised though. |

Wow I'm going through my special liveries collection -> they deleted so much high resolution imagery holy cow. It's really really bad -> probably going to be like 100+ lost finds in this collection alone. Lost all 11 of the special livery finds at Charles de Gaulle airport! |

But the answer (Jan 02 2022) from Google Earth Help does not shed any light on the matter. Rather, it means gloom for the future for historical views in GE.
