I found an interesting Google maps image!

I was curious and panned over to O'Hare to look for any other planes lined up with the runways and noticed something strange... a cemetery land-locked by tarmac by NWA Cargo on the south side of the airport!

If you are talking about the St Johannes Cemetary, I don't think it is surrounded by tarmac.

Must have been a cold day! ;)




DUUUUDE its a nude beach.. trust me dahrlin... if you see cars over on the road.... there are nudists there on the beach.and its an area that has a pretty high ration of females to males.. unlike most of the beer belly and sausage fests that masquerade as nude beaches.. usually around where there are a few of the bushes... been there myself.. many many many times.. since I used to live in one of the marinas on my 36' boat just upriver:)

Technically speaking, you're probably correct, but I can say it's completely surrounded or encased within O'Hare...

I was google mapping something not too far from my home DZ, so naturally I scooted in that direction, and then zoomed in as much as possible. I was albe to see my car in the parking lot, the Caravan sitting on the pad, jumpers walking in from the landing area, and one of the tandem canopies in-flight just above the hanger and it's shadow in the parking lot.

Kind of cool and kind of spooky at the same time. While I was minding my own business jumping one day, goolge was taking sat. photos of my every move....
