Subject: Re: interplanetary airstrip (fwd)

Would this be the lonely mile-long airstrip in the middle of
nowhere that shows up on the DRG at
http://terraserver.microsoft.com/image.asp?S=14&T=2&X=174&Y=1376&Z=12&W=2?
I can't figure out how to get the orthophoto image from this
server, but there *is* a long airstrip there--however, it's not
labeled "interplanetary."  I think that one is at Area 51
somewhat further south.
