Patrick Scharnowski Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 One set of coordinates coming right up. With these you should be looking directly at it: Latitude: S30° 33.51' Longitude: E138° 29.01' Heading: 98 Altitude: +1140 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skypilot Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I think someone's trying to compensate for something... (oh, and please don't ask what a Navy chopper is doing in the desert ) looking for the ocean? Where's my ship? Looking for the inland sea? Lost or just uncertain of ones position?

Ian Routley Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I wonder .. what are the coordinates of the washington monument in FSX. Could it be a N/S and E/W transposition, then got lost and forgotten about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(oh, and please don't ask what a Navy chopper is doing in the desert ) looking for the ocean? Where's my ship? Looking for the inland sea? Lost or just uncertain of ones position? Okay, now I can tell you guys: I used the HUGE rotor blades of the Huey to blow all of the dust into the air that hit Sydney and other towns this morning. I used that paint to blame the Navy. I wonder .. what are the coordinates of the washington monument in FSX. Could it be a N/S and E/W transposition, then got lost and forgotten about. I just checked. Not only are the coordinates different but the Washington Monument also uses a completely different obelisk model (don't know why I called it monolith ) that is at least five times as big as the one I found. It's huge!! Both shots in this image were taken at the exact same position of the helicopter, just to give you an idea of the size. How's that for compensation? p.s. don't ask me why Goodyear is out/down there..weeee.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COBS Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Some questions re the thingo with the Good year Graffeti . Are they fins or canards ? Whats its stall speed ? Was it originally a Tiger Moth that was exposed to too many 'Barrel' rolls ? Cheers Cobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
