Sorry, Death, Nobrn spotted this one a few days ago
here.
If you're a serious plane spotter, then it's a good idea to download the latest copies of 2 files - Satellite Capture of Aircraft in flight, and Aerial Photography of AIrcraft in Flight. They're actually administered by AzTraveller, but I'm looking after them in his absence. An updated bersion of each file will be posted in the Transportation Section every day.
This will make sure that you can see all up-to-date placemarks, so you'll instantly know if your find is original.
The other neighbourly thing to do is, if you do accidentally duplicate a placemark, or post one in error, is to remove it, to avoid cluttering GE. I'd do it for you, but I don't have editor privileges.
Keep hunting, and keep posting!
Cheers
Frank

HI, Clorius,
Probably. It's much the same size and config as a Boeing 737, so it's hard to tell at this res. However, the A320 has the widest fuselage of any single-aisle aircraft, and it also has a definite "sting" at the rear of the fuselage, which the 737 lacks, so I reckon you're right.
In any event, it's original, and I've added it to the DB
Cheers
Frank

I wrote a story recently about planes captured in flight for the Google Earth Blog. But, I had only linked initially to the collection for Aerial Photography. I just realized there was a separate collection for Satellite Photography here. I've added a reference for this thread and collection now to the story. You can read the story here.

Here's a 767 i think, approaching Palma de Mallorca Airport, Spain.
It may be the one posted by MarcoBorst here, but he forgot to placemark it.
@Frank: I do sleep, but I'm unemployed at the moment, so I've got lots of time for planespotting. 
Edit: This one has been added to the "Satellite captured Planes in flight" database, so i've removed my placemark.

Here's a nice plane with shadow. So often there's no plane anymore on these posts. This one was found on 9/23/2005. I was looking at this area because of Hurricane Rita. I also found lots of ships in this photo. Check out the ship that is pulling something. You can see some oil rigs too.
