Using WMS servers in Google Earth

Google Earth has the remarkably useful ability to use layers in WMS Servers.
These layers greatly extend the functionality of Google Earth.
You can display USGS data like quads and topo maps and other great layers.

To help people use this feature I made a video tutorial:

You can find WMS server urls using the following links:

http://www.skylab-...ms_serverlist.html
http://www.ogc-services.net/

The WMS server urls that I use are:

http://terraservic...ST=GetCapabilities
http://apps1.gdr.n...st=GetCapabilities
http://columbo.nrl...ST=GetCapabilities

Here are some screenshots of Google Earth flexing it's WMS powers.

Notice the scroll bar, it gives you an idea of the amount of layers on that WMS server: (btw that is the National Map WMS server)

Again look at the scroll bar:
