Plane spotters' paradise: military airbases around the world

Biting the hand that feeds IT (general link in right-hand column) has dug up a good number of Google Earth satellite images of military air force bases around the world: Thailand, India, Australia, Russia, China, North Korea, the USA's famous Area 51, and some rather smudgy images of UK Royal Air Force and US Air Force bases in Britain. Many of the other photos have some great detail, and include one of a parked AWACS on a Thai airbase. For pix and commentary? Click here.
What about a satellite image of a little island in the South China Sea? We have no air force base, but we do have a helicopter pad at Tung Wan Bay. Mostly used for ferrying medical cases to Hong Kong. To view? Easy-peasy, go to Mister Bijou's right-hand column. Thanks!
