If you have the toolbars on the left showing and scroll down to the bottom of the Layers window and you'll see DG Coverage 2002-2005. Click on one of the years and you'll see squares all over the world for satellite imagery taken that year. Find out what year the squares are over where you are looking at and you can see the date that the picture was taken. If you click on the (i) next to the date it will open a IE window showing that particular image. I was able to find my truck at work by looking at the pictures and the dates taken.

The flying Ford Anglia from Harry Potter?

Looks to be a B767 and MD-11. And from their shadows it appears that they are on the same alt (the MD-11 might be a little lower). Google Earth, what a valuable time waster.
Good catch!! I measured them at .65 miles apart...and you're right...they appear to be pretty close to the same altitude.
