Is This Plane Hiding In Plain Sight In Bushwick?

Those who enjoy this sort of thing might enjoy spending some time over at Google Earth Hacks. They've got nearly 250 civilian planes in flight (http://www.gearthhacks.com/dlc..., and another 160 military aircraft (http://www.gearthhacks.com/dlc....

I don't know if this particular one is already in the database or if someone will submit in response to this story.

Clearly a thug stole an airliner and parked it in the playground outside his crib.

Here's another one!

On Bing Maps over Park Slope.

If it was parked, I was going to say it was Soul Plane.

Look at that redshift! It's reaching reletivistic speeds!

I think this is cool, especially the way it's so perfectly placed between the buildings and in the green space. Nice find.

whew! i thought i was having an acid flashback there for a minute...

I walk through these projects every day, and I've never seen a plane there! /s

Although I did see a kid get jumped there last week. It was pretty stereotypical.

it was incredible.

and it's not a rainbow effect. it's showing the speed of the satellite imaging. the camera works by taking red, green, and blue separately in quick succession. because the plane is moving so fast, it's impossible for the satellite to combine the images.

Also, if you knew the speed between successive color takes on the sattelite, and the dimensions of the plane, you could probably figure out how fast it was flying at that moment, or if you had the plane's speed then compute the imaging speed on the satelite...just sayin

Interesting detail. Was wondering why it was a rainbow and not a blur, thanks!

I work in this area and this is in the direct flight pattern for LaGuardia Airport in Flushing.

Come on, people.

What a coincidence!! I was showing my fiancee my workplace last night and found this - even took a pic and sent it to her. neat-o bandito!

Pretty cool looking, but yeah, I'm kind of surprised this isn't more common.

That plane is in flight. It's not parked there. Or are you kidding?

Um, did you actually read the post?

Did your mention of the plane flying overhead only appear after the jump? Because I didn't see that.

And don't start sentences with 'um'. It makes you look stupid, you're not 11 and you're an ambassador to this site.

Oh, and what makes someone look really stupid is firing off their mouth (or keyboard) without having their facts straight. Example: Read every comment Felix has ever posted.

It's better than using the word 'like' fifteen hundred times in one sentence.

"And don't start sentences with 'um'. It makes you look stupid, you're not 11 and you're an ambassador to this site."

um, something tells me that you particularly dislike underprivileged (i.e. stupid) 11 year-olds.

...i smell a (former) teacher/tutor.

It may be after the jump, but you had to click on the article to comment on it, so it wouldn't have killed you to actually finish reading it first.

its friday Mr. Obvious, time to put your angry away for the weekend.

You just said that Jen is an "ambassador to this site" and you think she sounds stupid?

I could have asked you the same thing BEFORE you wrote this 'post'.

Hey, take it easy dude- this is actually really cool. Don't be a dick.

With all the planes flying over the city, I'm surprised you don't see more of this is google satellite view.
