You used to be online mapping services that would (directly or
indirectly) get you the lat/lon of things on the image, but I think
they realized the usefulness of this and I haven't found anything for
free lately ... even mapquest seems to have gotten rid of their aerial
photo feature.

terragear.microsoft.com and seamless.usgs.gov both give .5 m color ortho
photos for many major American cities, and I think 2m bw for the rest of
the US. You can get the lat/lon of the corners of the image from both,
and both also tell you the scale of the image. terraserver has a nicer
interface, but seamless also has access to many other datasets like
vector roads and land use.
I have a related problem, while we're on the subject. I'm going to
place a custom beacon at Andrews. First, it's a military beacon so it
has three lights, and second it sits directly on top of a water tower,
which will be a separate model. When I submit the taxiway data to Robin
with the location of the beacon will this cause your generation scripts
to place a standard beacon tower at the same spot?

Sorry, that's terraserver.microsoft.com. Good thing I don't use TerraGen as
well, I'd probably just start gibbering.
