Google Maps Discovers Batman Symbol

Thanks to Google Maps, a giant Batman symbol has been discovered on the rooftop of an office building on Kadena Air Base. But so far, nobody has seen the Caped Crusader.

The iconic white bat actually marks the home of the Air Force’s 44th Fighter Squadron, which is known as the Vampire Bats, according to Kadena spokesman Ed Gulick.

No one knows for sure when the bat symbol appeared, but it is believed that it was painted on the roof sometime in the 1980s.

“We know it’s been there for years … and is somewhat common for esprit de corps around the Air Force as it gives members of the squadron pride in their unit,” Gulick said.
