How can you see someones house from helicopter view?

My friend lives on the opposite side of the USA then i do and so she was finally coming for a visit. We were talking on the phone and chatting with each other and you know, getting our plans straight. But then she told me she loved my house. She had never been there before, nor had I ever sent her any pictures of it. So i asked her how she new and she told me that on map quest . com there was a way you could see someone’s house from helicopter view. She never told me how but I really wanted to do it. It was such a long time ago maybe 2 years or so. So i was hoping that you guys could help me. How on earth can I see someone’s house from helicopter view on map quest. If you have a link to the page where I just type in the address that would be awesome too!
