Of course, OBL could just use Terraserver. The embedded
image is clearly part of the 'b-52 graveyard' at Davis-Montham
Airbase.

It's not an airport, it's a scrapyard.

For what it's worth (not much if I think about it in the context of the 
underlying
discussion), the image is probably not a "military airport" per se, but it 
looks
like the AMARCS facility in Arizona (the "B52 Graveyard").  Here's a link to
one site about it:  http://website.lineone.net/~amarc/intro.htm
  Look at the photos to see the diamond patterns around the parked planes, 
which
was what triggered my thought when looking at the posted photograph.
