plane (in?) over Australia's Simpson Desert

[tangeoftheinland]

I found this aircraft at 24 degrees 28'53.56"S 134 degrees 47'33.04E.

It does not show any movement artefacts and appears to have something mounted either side, perhaps ground penetrating radar. Why doesn't it show an artefact if it is moving? If it's down then why hasn't it been reported?

A military aircraft might not be reported if its ditched on a secret mission. It's interesting to note that the USA's most important spy base, Pine Gap, is just 100 miles WNW of here at 23 degrees 47'57.14"S and 133 degrees 44'15.12"E

You can tell I'm new at this! I don't know how to make a .kmz and it's been pointed out to me that the radar type might in fact be SLR officially known as side-looking radar.

The plane was shot in a low resulution image area so you won't see any contrails or shadows in any way. So it's not down either.

If you look in our Aircraft in flight directory you can see more of planes in high resolution and low resolution. :)
