Google’s Australia Day Planes Diverted

The Age reports that a last minute restiction from Sydney air traffic control changed the flight path of Google planes and thus meant some of the large displays created for the big flyover of Sydney didn’t get captured for future input into Google Maps/Earth.

As for Microsoft:

(According to Microsoft, a flight they sponsored for an official Australia Day event obtained permission to fly over Centennial Park at 11.20am on Friday and photographed people below who had formed themselves into a map of Australia. The flight was flying at an altitude of 2500m.)
