Yeah, that’s why I didn’t post it myself.

And wow, you guys got ripped off on resolution! I was going to have you point out your FBO.

It does, and the marking below the horizontal “TAXI” doesn’t help any. I suspect it’s more there to make student pilots on short final for the taxiway go around than anything.

You can tell from the taxiway markings which runway is used primarily for training, and where the winds are usually coming from, though. :-)

Have you ever noticed that

looks kind of like a displaced threshold marking?

Yeah, coverage is a bit odd. Look at Montreal: everything but downtown! I wonder if there was some commercial reason to cover waterways.

Um, there's hi-res imagery of WIARTON. But not London, KW, or Guelph. But: Aunt and Uncle's house, heh.

Yeah, that's exactly it. There were convenient things, but there was no neighbourhood there.

I could understand that. That area seemed like…busy-ness without any use. Like, I don’t mind busy malls if they’re neat or fun or different, but it just seemed like Lincoln Fields was always A Big Bunch of People For No Good Reason.

And bah, I can only get low-res on K-W.

Yep, Lincoln Fields. It was convenient, but I’m so glad to be away from there.

*commenting at you here so he can hit both of you*

I can recognize that giant parking lot even from the air!
Lincoln Fields, n’est-ce pas?
