Finding Top Gun’s final mission and flying it in Google Earth - Lets Geolocate #2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 гру 2022
- In this session, we find the exact location on Google Earth of the scene in Top Gun where the jet fighter pilots fly upside down over the mountain pass, before commencing their bombing run.
This specific challenge involves learning how to read 3D models on Google Earth, use the shadows and mountain ridgelines for geolocation, and my favorite bit - how to fly a plane in Google Earth Pro.
The process involved in this geolocation follows the structure below:
1. Google search of relevant keywords to find extra information about possible locations
2. Pivoting from the information found on sites to get more narrow in a geographical search
3. Verification of the potential location identified in the NWHikers forum
4. Verification using shadows as Google Earth mountain range is rounded and not accurate
5. Verification using past imagery to make sure the shadows given by the ridgeline are not misleading
6. Verification of surrounding features such as rivers, forests and landmark features
The location of the mountain pass is on Tenpeak Mountain is the Cascade Mountains in Washington, USA.

Love the mix of information and entertainment! Never thought about matching shadows/against GE's rounding of objects. I'll pocket that trick!
Very welcome!
Ben's out here auditioning for Top Gear 3. Top notch geolocating as always mate!
Hehe thanks 🙏
Love you guys, looking forward to seeing more from you this year!
@@Bendobrown Likewise mate!
Thats cool never knew their was a flight app built into Google Earth! Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome! Enjoy flying!
bruh this guy so underated
Maverick had the right idea flying over the mountain upside down. That's why they called him up in the first place.
Btw, I haven't gotten any of your recent uploads in my subscriptions. I didn't even know you'd uploaded in the past few months.
Yeah, that's where the bell/notification feature seems to be working best for any channels you want to stay updated on.
Just an advice in case of, generally you can open a link in a new tab with the middle click or with the scroll wheel =)
Movie was trash... #based
