RESPONSE: By the time I looked, they had moved the parked planes inside the hangar....;-) Security Issues !! A little over a year ago, Philip Thomas had sent in a clipping from the Economic Times about the Government of India taking issue with Google Earth/Google Maps, etc....that allowed for this "sensitive" information being available publicly. At that time, I had sent in a link from Google of an image of Dabolim - was grainy. The present one is much better. > Once you've figured out the navigation do tell me where you live > and where you work.

Just so that you can find out that my southern neighbour has a pool in his backyard, and my northern neighbour has an outdoor jacuzzi and I have just a "sontri"......;-) On a serious note, Google Maps is wonderful product. It lets you virtually visit places you'd like to visit and revisit places you've earlier been to. Miramar does look pretty....beach, sandbanks et al! I've never been inside the swimming complex. That's a fantastic set of pools. Hope we do produce a national champ soon. Best - Bosco Toronto, CA _____________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
