Google Earth Click and download the free version. Some areas are more detailed than others. It's pretty freakin cool. I've been wasting a lot of time looking around at stuff. You can find an Air Force base and see all the planes they have. I looked at Deyes AFB near Abilene. Tarmac was full of B1B Bombers. My house is at 30*25'56.03"N, 97*43'00.02"W

I can but I'd have to kill you. Oh by the way I'm going there on tuesday :p Herc\'s hood That service has been around a long time. At least since 97. Maybe not through google but through msn terraserver. Here's my neighborhood. my house is on the lower loop on the left side building by the main road. The carport on the right is mine. herc\'s office Picture is before my squadron had moved there.

ALex, it will work for Mexico. I was scoping out baghdad and Tokyo earlier. I love this program. Much better than terraserver.

area 51 is on groom lake (dried up). the reason a big part appears white is because of the dried saltwater lake. herc, i've been to the border. just dont go past those signs that say "we'll kill you if you pass these signs" and you should be fine oh, and if you are going, do a little internet research ahead of time and find out the good roads up to the base borders...enjoy! you'll never get a view of the actual base, because they expanded the borders to prevent that, but the view of the border/entrance (signs, cameras, white jeeps) is cool enough. enjoy...
