    it worked fine for me. Do you guys have Google Earth on your PC? If not then you need to download it. Also make sure you open the file and not save the file when you download it. If you open it Google Earth loads.

    When I do that, wordpad opens with:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0">

    You can download the file but it's not a word file it's (for the LAX) "geSF.kml" Then, open your GoogleEarth and then click File>Open and open the .kml file.
