Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: mystery plane in ManhattanThat's odd. Did you find that on Google earth? It looks like a biplane. Perhaps it is a kids playground? Who knows?Believe it or not, there is a photo of downtown Manhattan taken from a Pietenpol.... It was published in one of the 1980's BPA calendars. In the photo,the Piet is well below the top floor... probably about 70 floors up... just puttering along among the sky-scrapers.Anyone on the list know the story behind that Piet Photo?________________________________________________________________________________

I think the more important question is - why are those two brownish buildings leaning into the others?I think you've come across some funky composite or Photoshopped image (... maybe even created by the DeeJ himself???)>From: "DJ Vegh" >Reply-To: pietenpol-list(at)matronics.com>To: >Subject: Pietenpol-List: mystery plane in Manhattan>Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2006 12:56:57 -0700>>Found this on Google earth today while working on a project for my >employer.>>what in Sam Hill is an airplane doing on the roof of a high rise in>Manhattan?>>>________________________________________________________________________________

I promise... I did nothing to the image. it's for all to see if you google earth manhattan. The buildings are likely leaning in towards another because the image is a composite of two or more photos taken from different sattelites at different times.wierd wierd wierd----- Original Message -----

I believe the Pietenpol was flying along the Hudson River corridor and not amongthe skyscapers.Greg ----- Original Message -----
