1st Air Cavalry Airfield in Iraq
Stumbled across this very cool satellite imagery. I counted over 50 helicopters. Apaches, Blackhawks and Little Birds...

Is that base still active? If not, and these photos are a couple years old, then there's no need to blur it out.
Want some fun on these satellite photos? Look around the Nevada Test Site, and find all the wierd airstrips, bombing ranges, and whose knows what they are. Around what they call "Area 19", there's even a railroad line.

Sometimes, the mind needs a shovel, rather than a pencil and paper, to express itself.

I got a plugin for google Earth that shows where pretty much every atomic test was carried out around the globe plus gives some info on it. The Nevada Test Site is HUGE and looking at all the craters from the undergound test is There is a lot of weird stuff out there.
You can also see where some of the islands in the pacific were vaporized by the tests.
