 i chose washington DC (of course) and just crashed my plane into the white house - hillarious!
 
 wait, i probably shouldn't be writing such things on a public forum.  the NSA tends to lack a sense of humor  :)

Okay, what's up with this place? All I get is "preloading maps 0%"
 
 Christ, this is like trying to get JT tickets!

Really because it's got the new convention center on it...
 
 I was hoping to land my plane in the clubs parking lot, but it would appear I just expanded it a bit...

well, check out u street. . it still has the parking lot where the flea market was held (where the ellington apt. complex is), and. . .the row houses next door to where i used to live are under construction- i moved into that building in 2003, so. . .it's from at least 2002.

you could be right... but aren't those also stitched together from images taken at different times?

I finally got it working. Now I'm lost. Think I might be up in Ohio somewhere. Would be nice if they included some sort of coordinates.
 
 
 Ah, shit! I went through some sort of a wormhole and am now lost in outer space somewhere. Back to DCA....

Bummer DC ends about where 495 and New Hampshire cross... I was so close to crashing into my house  :p

That must be along the northern border. Maybe they don't want Goddard Space Flight Center and the NSA up on the web. Try flying northwest and you'll cross a lot of upper middle class homes and either a country club or maybe a small college until you finally end up in rich people territory. You can tell by all of the extra wings on the homes; or rather, estates; and lots of surrounding land and swimming pools. Then again, money goes a lot further out there so maybe they are still harboring on the 'rich' status. Like I said, I really don't know where it ends but I'm thinking that it might have been somewhere in Ohio.

Wait a minute. I can't get anything anymore except the plane. No maps. Anywhere! Rebooting, cleaning temp files and disabling my privacy service did not help. What gives?

NSA is on to you.  You know too much.  Turn out the lights quick!

Yes, try to circumnavigate.  The VP's mansion is also blurred out, but you can fly past it and get back on a map.

No problem. I have a good sense of humor. In fact, I even laughed.   ;)
