Hans Georg,
thank you for the link, we have watched the flight and found it
fascinating! Having done a lot of flying from Wilson in the past we can
appreciate the experience even more. My husband is a surveyor so he can
recognise the features and has been a devotee of Google Earth for some
time, he say`s to tell you he can see that you have gone to a lot of
effort.... asante sana!
As for recognising the elephants, that should come with time. When
looking at our son`s house in Wellington, NZ, with Google Earth, we can
even see his car parked in his garden parking spot!
Pat.
