Do you have something that helps you search Google Maps or are you just good at doing it manually?

I was hoping you'd ask! It was luck. I had noticed signs of a civilian airport in the background of one of the pictures. When I looked at Nikolayev on Google Maps (I was wondering how close to Crimea these ports mentioned in the eBay auction are) I noticed the airport and zoomed in.

In other words you found one TU-95 soviet bomber out of the 500+ built. And you know it is the same plane... why?

The background, the patterns of the tiles on the ground, the buildings all match. The pictures were taken in that location.
