From the Sky



Ohio University's Bush airport uses physical features created by the mining industry as markers of reference for their students.


This is a map located in the hanger at the Bush Airport for students to reference. The stripmines are labeled on the map as well as east and west of the coal ponds.


This is the same map with images that the pilots would see from the plane. The white in the pictures is the plane wing. These pictures were taken almost directly above the locations.


More pictures of the strip mines from the air. The picture was taken approaching the strip mine, 2,000 feet in the air.

If you look closely at the coal pond's edge you can see orange from the iron, commonly called yellow boy, begin to form.
