- applesd, on 02/26/2009, -1/+186the airplane graveyard is impressive
- SpectralSounds, on 02/26/2009, -4/+147#10 is not a cruise missile, it's a jet. The wings are just painted black and hard to see.
- ybnormalman, on 02/26/2009, -3/+132The building was *designed* to look like a swastika. If you zoom out from it, you can see another building designed to look like a WWII fighter plane making a bombing run on the swastika. These articles just like to ignore the facts of the design so they can sensationalize the swastika.
- vadelect, on 02/26/2009, -2/+124Obviously this'll never make it into Time, but I was quite impressed to find someone had mown the outline of a Spitfire fighter and the East Anglian region into a field near my village: (Don't know who's responsible sadly)

- ColorBlind, on 02/26/2009, -0/+58That is a motorcycle training yard...wow that's hilarious. The lines are for learning how to take turns and working on stability.
- gemlarin, on 02/26/2009, -1/+58I actually learned to ride a motorcycle on that exact course. It is RAF Feltwell. USAFE Radar base. Served there 95' - '99. I laughed so hard when I saw TIME trying to make it into a conspiracy. What a joke.

- anizzle, on 02/26/2009, -4/+44A swastika -- HOW would you not know that it was going to look like that?!!!
- SpectralSounds, on 02/26/2009, -0/+40Its a McDonald Douglas MD-90. The wings and tail section are painted black.

- metateck, on 02/26/2009, -7/+32How is this an improvement?
- swmbuk, on 03/30/2009, -1/+26Thats no missile its a plane!
- sirbeta, on 02/26/2009, -3/+28The Swastika building has always interested me, long since it became a big thing on the internet. (I live nearby and saw it by chance while google earthing a long time ago)
The interesting thing about this arrangement, is there is two buildings to the west that look remarkably like planes potentially bombing the Swastika. It's partially masked by the borders around the buildings, but you can still pretty clearly see what look to be planes. Coincidence? Could be, but I have a feeling there could have been a greater a message in there from the architects.
"Plane" images:

Although I do see the black swept back wings in that pic, so it probably is a passenger jet - Eriksrocks, on 02/26/2009, -4/+27The "missle" is obviously a plane:
http://i39.tinypic.com/157nat3.jpg - tantobourne, on 02/26/2009, -1/+22In regards to the swastika shaped building I think those offended people are a bit too P.C. over the design. The Buddhists and Hindus aren't screaming about it and the dang symbol existed well before the Nazi party took up the design. Some people need to get over it. Especially when it's costing some dir-iculous amounts of money just to cover it up so people flying overhead or using Google maps don't get their panties in a bunch.
- zuiquan, on 02/26/2009, -0/+20You should see it up close.
- Veni_Vidi_Vici, on 02/26/2009, -2/+22I found a on Google Earth. What should I do?
- laofmoonster, on 02/27/2009, -0/+20You should a screenshot before Google accidentally the image.
- bass427, on 02/26/2009, -0/+20Most of the planes in the graveyard have been labeled on wikimapia.

- Scotty87, on 02/26/2009, -10/+28I refuse to take part of this 1 per page crap. buried
- inactive, on 02/26/2009, -1/+18$600,000 to make a building not look like an ancient symbol that was co-opted by an evil dictator. ***** retarded. If they're going to retrofit the building at all I propose they put the words "learn world history kids" on the roof.
- TenaciousG86, on 02/26/2009, -4/+20You think someone would have looked at the plan for the naval base and said, "Hmm, this looks familiar..."
- ShooterMcGavin, on 02/26/2009, -0/+16I like the live baseball game in San Francisco:
