Planes and Ships on Google Maps
Google Maps is amazingly cool because of its overhead satellite images. I got a link about a B2 in Palmdale where there is a Plant 42.

Battlefield 2
!>http://img.gamespot.com/gamespot/images/2003/all/boxshots2/920407_61465.jpg! Battlefield 2 Reviews. All eyes wait as Battlefield 2 is coming out. I liked Battlefield 1942 although it is more like a shoot-em-up vs. a realistic simulator like Full Spectrum Warrior or Ghost Recon. To me, the fun stuff is the more realistic, but to each his own.
