"I don't see a 'chute!!!"

In fact you can! It's the white thing right under the + (we also can see its kinda
"rectangular" black shadow right over it :-)

@xantrex stealth aircraft:
ha. yeh that's the new urban camouflage pattern that makes aircraft look from above like 7-11 stores.

the quickie-mart stealth plane is close to another area oddity: the gigantic pilot's instrumentation dashboard parking lot rune:

@arif40uk
ha ha. that hammer&sickle has been deleted by someone. maybe it could get polygon-copied by someone to the secret pacific polygon art reserve? maybe the SPPAR should have a sector of world-orphan deleted shapes which were interesting drawings but which were delete-worthy for whatever reason.

The polygon was made by an irate user 7 months ago in protest over the removal of "Classic" Wikimapia. It was deleted a few days later. You can find them all over Europe and Russia.

thanks ar... those things took a long time to draw, but they were fun.
user Xantrex has been working on a project to poly-copy the flying taco and make a squadron of them or something in his sector of the Secret Pacific Polygon Art Reserve. that'll be fun to see.

Almoust all of the railways in Norway is tagged by me.
Last week there was something very striking and tragic happend on some parts of the rails I've tagged.
16 goods wagons ran amok without any locomotive over a distance of 8km and smashed in a building before the car ended in the sea.

The airplane one is interesting in that it appears to be a place where Google has shifted their imaging, but they still used the original image. !?

This picture is 34m old, perhaps Google is updating pictures in that region and there are many places where added tags are moved from the actual places. I guess this is for a short time. Some one (UL2) should delete the tag (plane).

Here is an interesting one. Not just because of what it is, but because of the shape of the underlying tag.

Cut and paste not active on my system . So N 41.12504 and W 106.00069 shows an interesting artifact of the software that creates the terrain map.

Did Google create their terrain map by just scanning an old topo maps? Looks like here is where the folds meet and the source map has been stained.
