Google maps and interesting military airports

[andyA700]

I quite like looking at Google views of airports and air bases.
I found this about ten minutes ago, it is a Russian test facility at Akhtubinsk, where they carried out test flights of the SU57. Quite a variety of aircraft on the ground.
I hope this link works.

Are there two planes about to have a standoff on a taxiway?

Must be fun being a Russian fast jet pilot, as long as no one starts a proper war. Perhaps not a test pilot.

Interesting gate guard. Tu16 "Badger"?

The area looks incredibly bleak on street view. Love virtually exploring places like that.

Laguna Army Airfield on the California/Arizona border is an interesting one. The land directly to the northeast of it is leased to GM and is home to their desert proving ground, featuring a 3.5 mile circle track. Worth a scan around on Google Maps.
