click to search using Google MapsI’m actually not 100% sure if this cool depiction of a fish IS actually a fish and not just some trash or colored rocks on the ground. I can’t go into depth on what I think this is without actually giving away too much about the clue so… if you do happen to know what it is IRL (which probably mean you have the solution as well) if you could please let me know as I’m curious about it. You actually might be able to find it at 13/15 magnification but I said 14 just to be sure.

  1. JiM Says:

    I located that pretty quickly on the google maps, and the magnification was 11-12, but I purposely left the magnification out for better distance, and just began looking for a little while disc.

    It looks like it’s just a type of model plane, that’s on display in this little walkway area. Just a little show’n'tell perhaps….maybe it has a plaque saying what it is for anyone that lives out there, but for us, that’s my best guess.

    Just a model of a plane, that has some meaning around that area.

  2. Waxy Says:

    I think JiM is correct in that its a plane. It’s located on the Homestead Air Force Base and is most likely an older plane now on display.

  3. Josh Hilliard Says:

    It’s an F-4 Phantom II, the model flown by pilots at this base from the late 1970’s to the mid 90’s. This was once the most popular model of fighter used by the USAF and is found on many, many bases.

  4. JiM Says:

    Yeah, the shadow could have thrown things off for some people, but I just figured it might be a plane, cuz we have the same kind of “monuments” (for lack of a better term) around here for old, or retire, or un-commissioned planes, namely 2 Blackbirds that have their own park.
