    Of course, OBL could just use Terraserver. The embedded
    image is clearly part of the 'b-52 graveyard' at Davis-Montham
    Airbase.

    It's not an airport, it's a scrapyard.

    For what it's worth (not much if I think about it in the context of the 
    underlying
    discussion), the image is probably not a "military airport" per se, but it 
    looks
    like the AMARCS facility in Arizona (the "B52 Graveyard").  Here's a link to
    one site about it:  http://website.lineone.net/~amarc/intro.htm
       Look at the photos to see the diamond patterns around the parked planes, 
    which
    was what triggered my thought when looking at the posted photograph.
