Do I see what I think I see........

Check out McConnel AFB, Kansas with Google Earth.

Look on the west side of the field. Look for an all white 747-400, you can just make out the winglets from the shadow. Isn't that the Airborne Laser aircraft?? Look closely at the nose, again the shadow gives a hint as well.

I just went through many of the U.S. military bases I have placemarked in Google Earth, and they seem to have updated many of the bases that previously only had low res imagery to the better higher res ones.

That sure does look like the 747 with the laser on the nose!!

Boeing has a large facilty there. If you look closely at this pic i took last spring you can see two white 747 tails behind the kc-135s....

There's also an RC-135 COBRA BALL aircraft on the Boeing side. You can tell by the single black wing.

Now you've got me cruising around looking at all the ANG bases again! I just noticed a strange visitor at Niagara Falls IAP, NY--there's an An-124 at the end of Rwy 28R.
