Any chance, and this is a big big if, these are intentional shots. Almost impossible to stage, but maybe not to fake, a sort of viral marketing.......planes so big you can see our name on them from space? Okay, flame me down, any since it is not Sir Richard's airline, maybe I am full of it.

Except that many (not all) Google Earth photos are taken from regular aircraft. Since, in this hypothetical example, Google would have to let the UAE government know in advance that an overflight would occur, I'm sure it'd be easy enough to arrange that the flight occur at a certain time.

Interesting. But while I was cruising around the area, I had a look at Sharjah, about five minutes up the road. Anyone else here think this could be an interesting runway on which to land??

Fantastic point, I guess they should have leveled the sand dunes before moving forward.
Actually that was made that way for the blitzed UA pilots comming in from LHR so the swerving back and forth would result in a perfect landing.
