Description:
Another view of the strange crop on this farm. As I recall from driving near it earlier in the century, there's a sign saying something like 'KEEP THE HELL OUT.' Well, maybe it said, 'Property of the United States of America,' or something of the sort. Navy, I think. I started to post the coordinates, but then decided that there's probably some reason this farm isn't marked on the maps.
('Strange Fruit' is a song not heard much these days, but worth listening to if you can find it. However, it has no direct connection to this farm--I trust.)

Well, what the heck. Here are the coordinates: 37.565082, -77.024146 Maybe someone can recognize it.<br /><br />In GoogleMaps it's: https://<a href="http://www.google.com/maps/place/37%C2%B033'54.3%22N+77%C2%B001'26.9%22W/?37.5659691">www.google.com/maps/place/37%C2%B033'54.3%22N+77%C2%B001%2<br>726.9%22W/@37.5659691</a>

Are you friends with Edward Snowden?

For your next overflight, deploy extra chaff.

I'm not worried about that site, Frank. It's actually not hidden at all, and as you see it's clearly visible in the satellite photos. (On the other hand, Google blurs license plate numbers and lots of faces.)<P>But I do worry a bit when flying over the Blackwater campus in northeastern NC. The coordinates are 36.457239, -76.206830, and it's visible on the satellite photos, although not on the sectional charts.<P><img src="inline/20003-Screen_Shot_2014_07_03_at_10.53.45_AM.jpg" alt="Screen Shot 2014-07-03 at 10.53.45 AM"><P>Those are someone else's notations on the GoogleMaps image, by the way. The "Academi" note is particularly interesting. You can search GoogleMaps for "academi" and find an airport not far from Blackwater. Airnav.com says it's NC61: <a href="http://airnav.com/airport/NC61">http://airnav.com/airport/NC61</a><P><a href="https://www.google.com/maps/?36.4563499,-76.2091369,1180m/data=!3m1!1e3">Blackwater</a><!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML. Please fix the HTML.</font> -->

The day this satellite photo was taken, Blackwater had at least two fixed wing airplanes on the ramps and at least 15 helicopters, one with the mainrotor turning.
