Mechanical Turk, Satellite Photo, Steve Fossett, need help?



Not sure what category to put this in, put it in photography but thinking that might have been wrong. Anyway, here's the question I posted there:

I'm at Amazon's Mechanical Turk site working on the Steve Fossett thing, viewing satellite pictures to try to find his plane.
However , even though they provide some tips and example photos of cars and the size of the plane. I'm curious if anyone else is doing this and if they have a clue about this type of thing. I don't want to hit yes on a bunch of stuff that is just rocks, know what I mean? I am looking for some advice and sample pics of ones you hit yes on would be even better! From someone who might have some knowledge or experience in viewing these types of aerial photos and identifying what they're looking at. I know there's probably not many people on here with that kind of expertise, but tips/thoughts from anyone else who's doing it would be cool too. Thanks in advance.

I don't know about Amazon's Mechanical Turk site, but Google's satellite pictures are either months or years old. I have been hoping that the people searching for Steve Fossett are aware of this. I first noticed how rarely Google updates their satellite photos when new housing complexes were being built around my area. The houses would be complete, but when I'd check out the area thorough Google's satellite images, there would just be an empty lot where the new homes should be.
