These three pictures are faked.
Take a look at the website, it's nothing like these pictures show. |

why would anyone fake them anyway? but yes you can look around and find planes mid-flight. |

One of the best ways to find aircraft in flight is to locate a major airport then try to determine the active runway(s) and the landing/takeoff direction.
Set your zoom level to say 5.000' and pan out along the inbound or outbound runway heading. If you know where the hold locations are (available in the charts) check those locations also.
If you're really lucky, and have the time, check along the major airways. You will have to increase the zoom altitude.
At many airports you may see more than one aircraft on the runway or about to land or having just taken off. This is not impossible but is generally caused by a number of satellite photographs taken at slightly different times being overlayed on top of each other. |

It's definately NOT live....I've noticed the same stationary aircraft at Prestwick Airport, not parked, but on the runway, and it aint no C130 enroute to Israel with engine trouble either. |
