I did see a buried plane on one of the approaches in the Yosemite bush trip.
That isn’t the one, but that is exactly what I saw, a plane shaped building.
Anyone remember that photo of a cruise missile in flight? I wonder if that is in the sim?
I hadn’t looked at this since, but at least one user has reported this may have been an MD-80, and not an actual missile. Still, I wonder if Bing still has that?

There is one embedded in the trees about 5 miles due east of Wellsville, NY airport (KELZ).
Anyone visited KDMA, and the aircraft graveyard there? I plan to take a look when I get home, as that should be interesting.
The Windows 10 Maps app seems to be showing some weird photogrammetry there, with melted planes:
32.166586, -110.86492
Another interesting ‘plane shaped building’ to be found in the sim is the Boeing 727 located in a forest west of Portland, Oregon. (Another example that it is not always the imagery that is wrong!)
I think it was around 44.674, -85.787. East and a wee bit South of Lake Ann in Northern MI. I believe if you fly out of 4M0 and head due east you’ll spot it within a few minutes.
With the first post I thought we were going to find MH370 …
This is one of the quirks with using satellite images to generate the terrain. I was flying around Port Vila in Vanuatu (co-ordinates I used to drop in were 17.7308755,168.3137011) and because there was low-flying cloud cover on Bing’s satellite images in this area, there are white blotches on the ground where the clouds were in the pictures.
I figured there had to be a bunch of them. I did get a kick out of the airplane shaped buildings posted above. Wonder what other oddities are out there.
If this was still 1982 we might see a nuclear test turned into a building.
Love how it looks like that planes breaking the sound barrier.
