Placemarks are "bookmarks" for a selected map view in Google Earth that retains the location, zoom-level, and orientation allowing you to return to that view at a later time.

What are the coordinates for planes in flight on Google Earth?

There are large numbers of planes caught in flight within Google Earth imagery ranging from small prop planes to 747s. A continuously updated collection of placemarks of all known planes in flight right now in Google Earth is available. (see below) Note that Google is continuously updating its imagery so sometimes when looking for a plane caught in Google Earth last month or last year may not appear today so you may have to enable 'Historical Imagery' to see it again. Check for this option in View menu. If, however, you want to see the live real-time position updates of aircraft flying then there are KML feeds to see this. Flightwise, for example, provides this capability. See related links below for the planes in-flight database or Flightwise real-time tracking.

How do you get rid of something you placed on Google Earth?

As you open KML feeds new placemarks are often added to your saved places panel. Over time you may end up with 100's or 1000's of places and overlays often crowding the map. These can be deleted (right-mouse click and select Delete) or unchecked to hide. Note in many cases the saved places is the full KML content for the resource and not simply a "bookmark" or network link to the file on the network so the saved places file can get rather large. This slows down starting and closing Google Earth.
