Old news I know..! This is pretty spectacular. Even when looking closely it is hard to decipher where land ends and factory begins! Really good work, must of taken a while to cover lol. Never knew about this!During the Second World War, the Army Corps of Engineers needed to hide the Lockheed Burbank Aircraft Plan to protect it from a Japanese air attack. They covered it with camouflage netting and trompel’oeil to make it look like a rural subdivision from the air. 8 more pics of the airplane factory camouflage after the jump.
That's pretty awesome.
Wow that really cool

Love is the answer
There's a big place like that out here where I live, about 2 miles away from my house. It's not a large-scale manufacturing plant, but it is a huge partly-underground complex that houses a supercomputer that does all the 'The National Lottery's calculations. It was built and previously owned by Tesco (our version of Walmart, basically) in order to calculate their profits / revenues / daily earnings etc. Anyway, because I guess the facility is worth so much $$$, all of the roof is covered in grass and foliage and all sorts of camouflage-type stuff. You can walk your dog through the surrounding fields and just look down over it and hardly even notice what is down inside crunching away at numbers .
That being said, the Lockheed one is about 100x better and more impressive!
