Google Pulls Map Images At Pentagon's Request 217
Stony Stevenson alerts us to a little mixup in which a Google Street View crew requested and was granted access to a US military base. Images from inside the base (which was not identified in press reports) showed up online, and the Pentagon requested that they be pulled. Google complied within 24 hours. The military has now issued a blanket order to deny such photography requests in the future; for its part Google says the filming crew should never have asked.

As for the people who let them on the installation, I'm guessing they weren't military. There's a lot of "rent-a-cops" "protecting" military bases right now.

On top of that, SR-71s and B-52s were never stationed at the same bases. The only base the SR-71 ever operated out of that was non-CONUS was Kadena, Okinawa. I'm calling BS on your being on any base in the early 70s that had all three aircraft.
Although if you look up any operational base, you can clearly see the alert lines with the fully loaded aircraft. The ones I looked at had nothing chopped from them.
