FACDOWNA crash site locator
|
Before you start you will need to down load on to your computer a copy of Google Earth Pro. Here is the link.
https://earth.googlr.com/int/earth/download/ge/agree.html Note: This link seems to require a computer with a 64 bit operating system.
With Google Earth Pro installed: Using the list below, click on the name of the FAC of interest. A link will download to your computer's download folder.
Find that link and click on it then be patient. Google Earth should open and bring you to the approximate location of where that FAC went down. Please understand that the site will be today's view, not the view of the war years.
Short Cut: To quickly find a particular FAC, use the find feature on your computer (on a widows computer, select "Control + F" and Command + F on a Mac) then type in the name sought in the box that appears followed by "Enter/Return"
