I think this feature still exists

[UPDATED] Google already had more satellite and aerial imagery available for free than anyone. Now, they've added a new feature to new Google Earth 5 that let's you turn back the clock and see other imagery they have for locations around the world. Click on the little "Clock" icon in the upper middle (or the "View->Historical Imagery" menu item). A time slider appears (see below) showing available imagery. If other imagery is available in your current view, you see little tic marks on the slider. Drag the slider (or click the left/right buttons) to see earlier or (or even newer) imagery.
