Anyone else notice the black A-26 Invader in the Google link OG posted?
There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Bones, which link. If you go to the John Wayne link and zoom in, you will see it change from 20 to 19.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Yep, as you zoom in on the approach end of runway 20L you can see it change to 19L.

How far does one have to zoom in for all I see is a large 20L in white and 2R-20L on a red background?

Yeah same here. Maybe there's a difference if you use Google Earth V Google Maps on a browser?

Anyone spot the A-26 in the Google Earth shot? It belongs to the Lyon Air museum.---------------------------------------------------------------- Odd, one my Google Earth through my iPad it changes. Must be going to an outdated image. It was 19R and 19L as recently as 2005 though. Wikipedia Germany still has it listed as such. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wayne_Airport Start- und Landebahnen 01R/19L - 880 m × 23 m Asphalt 01L/19R - 1738 m × 46 m Asphalt Wheels

Then I went to skyvector.com which is an on-line flight program. Take map to California and zoom in on John Wayne. Touch the John Wayne symbol and it pulls up some data. A little tricky but if you hit the name John Wayne it will open the on-line AFD. Sometimes it opens approach plates or the FBO instead. May take a couple tries to get it to open the airfield data. Then on the left is a small google picture . Open it . Zoom in and it still changes from 20 to 19 for me. See if this link works for you. https://skyvector.com/airport/SNA/John-Wayne-Airport-Orange-County-Airport

If you look at the approach end of 20L you can see a circle with HS1. That means a Hotspot on the airfield. Usually the reason is in the AFD, but if not it can be found in the FAA directory. http://aeronav.faa.gov/afd/05Jan2017/SW_hotspot.pdfSo where Ford flew over the commercial airplane was a problem area on the field and had specific instructions.

You have it reversed OG, went from 19 to 20.
Your Google is out of date.

Your Google is out of date. I wasn't speaking chronologicall. I was referring that the google earth starts it at 20 then as you zoom in it changes to 19.

I have been doing whatever updates it said. But after poking around, found that I had to clear my cache. Now it shows 20 on zoom.
Didn't know that.
Thanks, didn't know I had to clear the cache. Learned something.
Funny how the cache works. Now if I open google earth and go there it shows 20 even after zoom. But f I go back to my links and zoom they still change from 20 to 19. Strange how that works.
