Default Google Earth Sight Seeing

I have a bad habit of killing hours on Google Earth looking for weird and unique finds - and JonDukes link lead me down the rabbit hole again.

First this I looked for was this skyscrapper, which has a bi-plane and runway on the roof. Can you find it using his Gigapan link?





Anyone have other interesting find & seek locations you want to share?

Did someone build the plane on the roof, or land it there?

I've always liked this one:

32 08'59.96" N, 110 50'09.03"W


I'm pretty into roaming around and just finding weird little things, shipwrecks are always fascinating to me, as well as creepy stuff like Chernobyl and that sort of thing. Rarely do I keep coordinates though.

I just found out you can go in this store in Inglewood on Google Maps.

https://www.google.ca/maps/@51.04173...AAQJKgKttQ!2e0

Are there any other interiors mapped out in Calgary?

The other day I felt nostalgic and walked through my childhood neighborhood in NJ. I walked to school, to the stadium, the old diner. It was fun but sad.

Then I visited Prague.
