When Robotech first aired, I had a globe in my room and i had found Macross Island on it. Now the spelling was just slightly different but close, something like Macrosse or Maccross, I'm not sure exactly. I can't find it on the internet, because all of my searches get changed into Macross. I looked around in different map programs in the area that I remember the island being and I found this.

Does anyone find that the grey streak on the island resemble something?

Lol.
Looks like the unfinished SDF to me with city lights around it.

Re: Macross Island
Check out the lower left for the length of one mile and one kilometer, the size is just about right too.

Re: Macross Island
Looks more like an airstrip to me, but hey - do we have a name for the real life island?
North Pacific, hmmm.

Re: Macross Island
Yep, that Airport Runway does sort of look about the right size.
Thou, it looks more like an overbuilt zent flagship (see M2 animation) then the macross.
I looked on the Mapquest sat picts and it looks like they use the same photo as yahoo.
But Google maps uses a daylight pict, and you can see the airport clearly.

Clever disinformation..."Of course an alien ship didn't land in the Pacific! It would have taken out San Francisco if it had! But since SanFran's still there, it didn't happen! See?!"
Now, LA...with the smog, they couldn't have seen the SDF-1 if it came in at rooftop level...

Hell...a good LA smog...the SDF-1 would BOUNCE off it....

Sadly, clean air legislation pushed by California's 'Greeners' had meant clear slies on the day Dolza's Grand Fleet deFolded in Earth orbit...

I'm thinking of building a Macross City with Civ3 City View graphics.
