This is neat, technically speaking the plane would appear to be traveling faster than the speed of light since the plane is out in front of the fastest light ban (red), and far in front of the slowest light ban (blue). This is a very interesting photo.
Never seen one with multiple rainbow effects (presumably created by building a colour image from multiple exposures)I have, however, seen several planes in flight on Google maps. By far the coolest was a Lancaster bomber.
Brian: Depends who took the picture, I imagine. If you look at it on GoogleEarth, it says it's a TerraMetrics image taken in 2010 (unlike what Google Maps says). The black/white seems to provide the detail, the color is added in lower resolution. Try http://www.truearth.com/support/faqs_content_google.htm
The bacon suit isn't actually for sale; it's part of an Archie McPhee April Fool's Day tradition, where they put up a fake site selling fake items(fake gag items - how ironic!), like a parachute for babies.
This is a ripoff of an old "The State on MTV" episode from the early 1990's. Thomas Lennon (Reno 911) did a sketch were he loved bacon. He drank bacon, and even wore bacon.
Archie McPhee has the best items I've ever seen just for fun. Their supplier (Accoutrements) makes awesome famous people actions figures too, if you're into that sort of thing.
