The Plane Boneyard is on Google maps

Thought it was kinda neat. Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson New Mexico.  Here's a little BBC article which has some of the planes labeled:  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8530165.stm

they fixed it but earlier today they had the E-2 Hawkeye labeled as an E-3 Sentry.  I wanted to email them but couldn't figure out what their address was.

According to the article the high res images weren't on Google Maps until recently. 

Check out these high res images:  Link

I was staying just a couple blocks away from here which is why I discovered it.  I asked my friends and they weren't exactly sure why it was like that, but they think it has something to do with something that dates back to WWII.

The scrambled image? It's just really low res. Probably done that way at the request of whoever owns whatever is there. You can do that with Streetview too. Just send google and email, and they'll block your house from view.

Obviously it has been blocked for a reason.  I was being facetious.  It's the only place where I have actually seen them do that.

Sounds about right, except for the fact that it is in the Netherlands.
