Simply put, Google Earth is probably the coolest program to hit the internet in a long time. It allows ordinary people to view satellite images from all over the world in a simple to use program. Search addresses, landmarks, view terrain features and 3D buildings in the larger cities.
If you haven't already downloaded this program, you can get it here - Google Earth. It's small, it's free and it's easy to use.
That being said, clicking the links below will open Google Earth on your computer ( if you have it installed ) and zoom into my Placemarks from areas around Mogadishu.
Do you use Google Earth and know some areas around Mogadishu you'd like added? Email Me
 Mogadishu, Somalia
 University Compound - I guess this place was at one time an international University. While I was there, this was the primary base of operations for the 10th Mountain Division in Somalia. Except for a few towards the top, it seems as if all the buildings have been demolished since I was there.
 Mogadishu Airport - Primary base of operations for all supplies, troops and personel coming into and leaving the country of Somalia.
 Helicopter Landing Zones - Area used as landing pad for Blackhawk and Cobra helicopters at the Mogadishu Airfield
More photos of this location here.
 Olympic Hotel - Primary objective of the October 3, 1993 mission to capture Aidid.
 Pakistani Soccer Stadium - Base of operations used by Pakistani UN forces. Area all forces pulled back to the morning of October 4th, 1993.

* I'll be adding more locations to this page as I find them or people send them to me.
