So here I am, playing with mapquest

[FalconGuy016]

Searching for my paintball field with arial veiw :) I KNOW this place is practically in the middle of nowhere so I find what I expect, tons of trees and a little building in the middle :)

I know where all the fields are, even under the trees :) The white building in the registrations building, and off to the right you can see the hyperball fields (pretty old pic, now we have 2 hyperball and 3 full size sup air)

[FalconGuy016]

I zoom out and see what I expect, more trees and trees

[FalconGuy016]

Zoomed out again, and some more of the same (white building circled) At this point the only reason im doing this is to see if I can zoom out to the world :)

[FalconGuy016]

then... when I zoom once more...
Civilization!!! Closer than I would ever expect!! But I see that odd white area of stuff, so I decide to zoom in

[FalconGuy016]

Then when the page loads, I begin to really wonder what it is...
it seemed a little scary to me at the time :)
What could it be?

[FalconGuy016]

What is it!??!?! Ahhh!!!

[paintbattler]

hahahaha

[EsPo]

lol

is that thing free?

[FalconGuy016]

yes :)

[EsPo]

hmmm. it says i need to sign in or something...

[Gitaroo Man]

Could be a surface mine...

[FalconGuy016]

oh, some reason now you need a AIM screenname... kind of strange

[EsPo]

aha.. i got it..

the supair bunkers at the field are too small to see :(

wait, maybe the place wasnt built yet... what year are these maps from..


the pic attached is my house :)

[FalconGuy016]

While we're at it, lets make this AO's official Mapquest page! :)

[Cryer]

[yeahthatsme]

dear god, STOP PWING

Thats what I was gonna say.
Either that, or It looks kind of like an oil place (hehe)

[eric]

Yeah
how do you find an aerial pic?

Edit: Got it, wow this is fun. Just zoom around different parts of the country and look at random stuff:D .
Think, if this stuff is available to us then WOW how in the world could anybody hide anything from us? Especially a county so open and flat as Iraq.

Some of these pics must be OLD. IT dosent show the local feild, and its like 7 years old.

Man this totally messed up ... I am able to get a current (Im guessing) arial view of one of my old duty stations ...

This is a map of MCAS Cherry Point ... if you know what you are looking at you can find;

1) 2nd MAW HQ
2) 2nd LAAD HQ
3) Group 27 HQ
4) Barracks
5) Both Flightlines (if you zoom in enough you can see planes)
6) The rifle and pistol ranges
7) Enlisted base housing
8) Armoury and Demo magazines
9) Other units buildings, etc ...
10) My old units building (MWSS-274 Bay "D" Combat Engineers)

I am really surprised at the level of detail that MapQuest will allow you get over military airspace ...

[EsPo]

hehe.. look at this one..

shartley? ha, i am not trying to be shartley. but it is quite annoying that everyday there is at least one new POINTLESS thread that he has started. if you deny this, you are a fool. and falcon, please stop

[FalconGuy016]

Mr.Mag this is the friendly corner and I found something interesting, dont like it, please dont come in :(

There are MANY important military things blocked out of mapquest, its funny though that there is a HUGE black squarae in some areas :) The black and white are old pictures and the color are new, after 9-11 :( but not too far after

try to find blocked places!! :)

[lopxtc]

This picture isnt too old ... it has areas that were under construction when I was there ... *L*

Actually its a shame that you can hit other parts of the country with this ... tried to find Camp Butler in Oki and it doesnt work LOL ...

its not just this thread. threads like this have been around before, and i have contributed. the point i was trying to make is that it seems as though you are trying to think of ways to get your post count up. you have started SOOOOO many random threads, and sooo often, that it is somewhat annoying. i really dont care if it is every once in a while, but it has become extensive. anyway, lets make ammends, and post cool mapquest stuff

what i got when i put in the white house
