Cruising around Google Earth for the first time, what leapt out is how GE explorers are really, really into airplanes. It seemed as if every two-bit Cessna captured in flight by a passing satellite had been identified and tagged. Not only have Google Earthers found every Black Hawk; every stealth fighter; and every commercial, military, and private aircraft in the world, they've also tracked down most of the paragliders (a task that requires a scary tolerance for staring at a computer screen). Indeed, the message boards surrounding Google Earth are a romper-room for obsessive-compulsive behavior. People have found and tagged lighthouses, limousines, roller coasters, abandoned nuclear-missile silos, sports stadiums, nude beaches—one man cataloged each and every Starbucks outlet in the world. In the gee-whiz, hobbyist world of GE, that's the equivalent of dunking from the foul line.
