I was looking at this ad on Craigslist for a cabin on the Yentna River,
http://anchorage.craigslist.org/reo/1455694561.html
then I decided to find it on Google Earth. Just east of where the cabin should be, I noticed an airplane in a wooded area. The resolution isn't that great, and I can't tell if it's in flight or sitting in the trees. The coordinates of the plane are
61.9294, -151.0049

Is it flying or is it on the ground?

You can find planes flying all the time on Google Earth. I used to try to find them all the time when I was bored. It's like trying to find Waldo.

Don't know that I have ever been THAT bored!

I know . I left out the part that I'm part polish, too (I blame my father ).

Finding airplanes in flight is easy. Just look at approach and departure lanes.

Finding crashed airplanes is a challenge.

Finding airplanes on the bottom of the ocean is a true cure for boredom!

Hey,,, At least the water is real clear and doesn't seem polluted. ...

They better get it out before global warming sets in and the water gets 100 feet deeper.

Looks like a wreck to me.

Naw, it's parked in front of a hot spring. Coyote Ugly is down there with his missus making a new video.

Would this be it? The 1985 date a doesn't seem realistic to the likely newer google photo. The 25 yds from shore seems right though.

Yea, an shot just when we were using the "tail high, J-turn" takeoff.

Last I looked, it appeared that one of our Tomahawks was in the pattern, and what looked like a 737 was
flying over the river.
