Beautiful Images Of Airports From Above

Submitted
 
The best view of the airport is definitely reserved for pilots. On her blog Holding Pattern, designer Lauren O'Neill collects beautiful satellite images of airport tarmacs from above, where the baggage fees and long lines and flight delays melt away into a neat, orderly vision of grass, concrete and tiny, toy-like planes.

A fun quiz for pilots and dispatchers! I had to avert my eyes though, to avoid seeing the airport IDs in the filenames...

Agreed, though I got the first one right from the start. Doesn't help that I live there, though, :)

Anywho, KATL just looks a mess! But too bad they couldn't get any of TNCM. That would be a good one to see overhead!

Agreed on Atlanta. "Attention flight 264. Taxi to gate 103. Do not go down the wrong aisle. Good luck."

Thanks for the suggestion!

This was a tough puzzle, I could find a few but the most nothing at all :)
I liked the pictures.

Great photos. These would make a great Windows Theme which is what I will do with them on my PC.

Great airport geometry.

It was fun to quiz myself on these ones, I reckon it disguises some of the obvious landmarks, so I only got 2/3rds correct.
Shame it's just stolen from Google Earth, and not her own photos out the window during an overhead hold, as the title suggests.

Stolen? Extracted, maybe, but not stolen. One doesn't steal public information.

Hi Sam,

I'm working to capture my own shots as well. There are more logistics to it, but stay tuned ;)

Thanks so much!

Nice. Did you do a wingover over each airport to get those shots?
