Strange runway situation at Stansted?

Personally, I like the Google Maps view of Sarasota Int Airport, (Florida) two AC on the main runway playing chicken! Indeed multiple shots “stitched” together. For a while, they had a 737 coming out of St Petersburg/Clearwater on top a ghost of another 737, looked really odd, but they have updated that pass.

lol

it’s probably the same aircraft :p

I found this strange situation, two airliners on the same runway, one taking a turn-off, another one a very short distance behind it.

As has already been suggested, its just where two separate images have been put together to form one image and this is what causes these strange looks.

In fact, if you look at the image close enough, I think you’ll find that what you may think is two separate aircraft is in fact the same aircraft, so it had probably landed just before the satellite went over the area and by the time the satellite had passed over and taken the various images, it had just begun to taxi.

Google earth uses multiple photos and peices them together like a jigsaw. So what you are seeing is two parts of the jigsaw.

Nothing strange about it. In fact, just outside of waterloo station on google earth is a train that appears to become invisible at one end, where the two images have been peiced together, with a slight cross over so it appears to the train does not dissapear instantly.

Indeed. There are even ghost 747’s at Heathrow if you look closely enough and 3 747’s leaving FRA roughly 400 metres apart!
