Do you guys know the official list of military bases that are blocked out from Google Earth and that can't be seen no matter how hard you try to zoom in on that area? Let me know..thanks!

I spoke extensively with the CTO of Google this morning and he promises me on video that Google has never been asked to block any part of their images by the U.S. Government much to his surprise. If you have something that contradicts that statement, I would love to call his bluff and take it to him to see it.

Your location of Bolling AFB is south of the actual location. You've marked Naval Research Laboratory.

Los Angeles AFB ("the only AFB without a runway!") is at 33°55'08.61" N 118°22'50.43" W

Esbjerg Airport is not a military base, but it is the base for danish off-shore activities in the North Sea.

I think it's cool that you compiled this list. I have searched for a few that I was stationed at through the years. Surprisingly you have a couple that I had already found, namely Comanche Base and Taszar, Hungary. Were you there?

Anyway, I have a couple more but unfortunately I'm not that savy in the ways of the computer so I have no idea how make links to these places. I don't know if anyone has heard of McNair Kaserne near Frankfurt, Germany or Camp Thunderbird in Saudi Arabia during the first gulf war. I've located these and would like to make links to them for everyone who might be interested.

Interesting info. I would add that Gilenkirchen Airbase in Germany is not an American base but is a NATO base.

A few of the Marine Corps Bases in Japan are waaaaay off. This being Camp foster, Camp Courtney, Iwakuni. Also a lot of the Korean ones are off as well.

The marker for the Bremerton Naval Station is centered smack dab in the middle of Macy's in the Kitsap Mall, located in Silverdale, Wa instead of Bremerton. I believe Subbase Bangor and the Naval Shipyard both have markers though. ^_^
