Yuri's Night 2008 at Moffett Field, CA .. birthplace of the GigaPan camera! Thanks to Gokhan Soydan for providing the closeups of the acrobatic airplanes from that day, and to Scott Telstad for his efforts putting it all together. See http://gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=5714 for a panorama from inside one of the hangars after nightfall. |

This is one of the many huge landmarks at Moffett Field. This is looking from the south side of the hangar on one of the rooftops of the barracks area. This hangar is truly enormous. You can find out more information about it here:
