Checked out Holloman AFB and Whiteman AFB no sign of any F-117's or B2's i expect they are all hangered but Holloman and Whiteman are crystal clear, did you check Area 51? there are alot of Janet AC on the ramp which is comical as the runway has huge yellow x's on it to show the Runway is no longer in use! also check out Dover AFB to see the USAF's major hub for C5 Galaxy AC!  '<img'>

if you look at the skunkworks in burbank, you can see an F-117, a B-2 and what appears to be a bit of a museum with an SR-71 and a TR-1

i cant get it at work so i cant tell you know, it was a good while ago when i looked.
i find the search thing a bit useless if you use anything specific.
if i remember right, if you type in burbank it will show you burbank town, and then you have to navigate yourself to the airfield. i think its northeast of the town. if you can get directions off the internet you can turn on the roads and use them to follow.
you could try find out the co-ordinates of the airfield an use them either.

sorry, i got burbank and palmdale mixed up

type in this address, then scroll east and north, have a look around.

Then, zoom out and scroll north east a good bit till you see the white splodge, or dry lake if you prefer, and look for the big compass marks on the ground, this is edwards, as far as i know.

1011 Lockheed Way, Palmdale, CA 93550

Have a look at what some chap found when he tried to locate his house at 52 20 11 North 0 11 34 W. Just imagine being obscured by the city of Lincoln.........
