I remember about 5 years back going to the Royal Show with some friends
and visiting the Police stand. There was an aerial photograph of
bushland taken from a helicopter on display. The task was to identify
the marijuana plantations, and I remember none of my friends could come
close. I looked at it and went "there, there, there, there and there"
and the officers were amazed.

Disclaimer: this ability has nothing to me wanting to get a helicopter
pilot's license ;)
