This is a satellite picture I captured from "Google Earth". It's the isolated radar site I was stationed on in Iceland 40 years ago. I spent a year there in 1963-64 while I was in the Air Force. The astonishing thing is that it looks almost exactly like it did back then. All the same buildings, except it looks like they have built a new baseball diamond and gym. Google will take the picture a lot closer to earth, but then I wouldn't get the whole site in the picture. Yup, I was there exactly 365 days, when I came home I had a 6 months old son Jeffrey. Geeze, the quonset hut barracks were old-old back then and it looks like they are still using them.
