Carlstrom Field photo update

PS, After a brief Google, this should show the latest satellite image of Carlstrom, with a brief history of the site since your time. I believe that the juvenile correctional facility has now closed as well
I'm a little late but I'd noticed the mention of Carlstrom Field in Florida. The WW2-era buildings are almost all gone now. Ten years ago some of the original buildings within the circular driveway/road were still standing but appear to be gone now. Two of the original hangars are still being used though.

I shot these images on June 30 2014:

Remnants of the original WW1-era base are still clearly visible too (west is "up")
