Hey James,

On the left hand side of Google Earth there should be section called Places.

In there you need to tick the box next to OpenATC Air Traffic, Then they should all appear on your screen.

It refreshes every minute but if you right click it and go into the properties you can change the refresh rate to 1 sec.

Hope that helped! 🙂

Not on my Google earth it don’t, have you got the premium version?

The odd thing about the FLS shots is that there is nobody on them. Every hangar I have worked in has been a hive of activity.

This has started off as a very gentlemany disscussion! Great! As has been said though the un forgiving nature of the printed word means that somebody will take the hump at CC at some point! I think that half the rows on the internet would not happen if the offeding coment was made in the pub over a pint!
Mind you some of the coments posted when C*******K and T********k say things can’t be misconstrued!!
My own worry is that somebody will not post or delete an image for fear that they will be criticised and that image will be of imense interest to the rest of us.
manc. I agree with your three points and I will add one of my own.
4).When shooting against the sky, over expose to compensate. (That cost me a whole roll of Kodachrome 64 at Greenham common!)

(Mind you, I wouldnt like to spend 7-8 hrs cooped up in a 757! )

But if you were a pop star, you might be travelling in a tiny exec jet.
Maybe its tough at the top.

An exec 757 is one thing, but 7hrs with the great un-washed is another!

Don’t forget they get the pleasure of working some EVIL shift patterns aswell. Some of their start time would give an insomniac a fright!

I went through security today and saw them searching a women deportee. The went through her bags and took every piece of make up and moisturizer the poor girl had. She was going back to an un certain future and they were stripping her on all dignity. I wonder how they sleep at night?:mad:

Are we saying future airport and airline employment will only come from the friends and relatives of established employees ?[/QUOTE]

No Poland and Lithuania!

Seriously, contact the airlines with offices at your local airport. The offices will be “Landside” so the security issues will be a lot less. I doubt you would be able to actualy work “airside” but the airline will be able to get you a tempory visitors pass for a tour of the operational area.(Providing you have a valid passport)
Don’t worry about nepotism in the airline industry. It is alive and well, just ask my Dad, Brother, Sister-in-law, her Father and her brother! We all worked for the same airline at one point!
Also I do know that one of the regulars on this forum has just been taken on at his local airport without having any relatives working there. Good luck and keep us informed.
