Where is this?

[Everskyward]

I know but I've never seen it. Looks like it would be interesting, though.

 

[EdFred]

Earth.

 

[Everskyward]

Earth.

True!

 

[Everskyward]

No other guesses?

Another clue.

 

[EdFred]

All I see is a red X.

 

[Velocity173]

Burning Man?

 

[Everskyward]

All I see is a red X.

Better?

 

[Everskyward]

Burning Man?

No, very cold...

 

[EdFred]

Looks flat. You said colder. Somewhere in Saskatchewan?

Haha, when I said "cold" I meant as in "far away". But you are right, it is colder than Burning Man and you are warmer saying Saskatchewan.

"Circle of planes in the desert" failed me on Google. I see why now.

 

[pbramlett]

Its a museum in Alberta but I can't think of the name right now.

 

[Pilawt]

If Druids had airplanes ...

It's in Alberta but not at a museum...

 

[EdFred]

Planehenge.

 

[Everskyward]

Planehenge.

It has a name but not that.

Look at the type of plane in the picture for a clue.

I see you found the page.

 

[Greg Bockelman]

Bamboo Bomber, but that is as far as I can go.

Google Maps reveals nothing at that location.

Google Maps reveals nothing at that location.

You have to enter it in the right format - you might be looking at the wrong location.

 

[EdFred]

It's Alberta. A wrong location would have me looking at the eastern or southern hemisphere.

 

[Everskyward]

Google Maps reveals nothing at that location.

I think that's because it isn't an official place. It is art.

I meant the satellite view just showed field, and nothing else.

 

[Everskyward]

How old is the satellite picture?

 

[EdFred]

I see hay bales, some snow, and definite southern shadows. So I will venture to say the newest they would be is Fall 2012.

Looks like it was completed in 2009.

Fantastic dedication.

Not necessarily. Google expects dd mm ss.xxx, you could be up to 60 NM off using decimal degrees.

Gravitas at Nanton’s Bomber Command Museum

 

[Sac Arrow]

If I enter this in Google Maps:

50° 28' 0.66" -113° 50' 58.4154"

I get some field in Alberta but there appears to be some sort of round formation that looks about the right size, so, it could be the place.

 

[Greg Bockelman]

Ok, so the "WHERE" seems to be sorted out (maybe) but what about the "WHAT"?

 

[Everskyward]

Gravitas at Nanton’s Bomber Command Museum

That is almost right, although I don't think it is AT any museum.

True, it's just north of the museum by a few miles. Tomatos Tomahtos

That's location I got when I put in the decimal version above. I don't see anything.

LOL. I haven't been to the site or the museum. Someone gave me an article about the place about a year ago because he knew I went to Calgary a lot. One day I'll check it out but it won't be for a while. Here is one page about it, where it got the pictures.
