I really think it would have been cool if a low flying earth surveillance plane had caught a helicopter in mid-flight. But I'm still not seeing it. There still should be a shadow of it on the ground somewhere.
Here are some pics of it. Judge for yourself.

"If you read the caption bottom right, it shows that the image was modified in Google Mapmaker. If you click through to the original image, the helicopter is not present. "
Yes. But all those pictures are taken at a different time of day from the
one with the helicopter. Notice how all the shadows go the other way.
For those interested here are the coordinates in google maps:
32.161478,-110.858928

We have a very nice RF101 Voodoo on a Pedastal at RENO,NV USA...OUR air national guard unit (the high rollers) use to fly them in the middle 60's. We also have a nice RF4Phanton on a pedastal there too. So if you are in the wild west of Reno, NV at the main airport (KRNO) go to the guard base on the field and check it out.
When I was a boy and a flight of two RF101's took off, the entire town shook...
the sound of freedom.
