They probaly have most of there bases underground by now. They know putting it on the suface isnt safe anymore because Satellites so where else are they gonna put them.
Just a point here... we also know the orbits of all those satellites, as does everyone else... It's dead easy to avoid observation by a satellite by simply pushing an aircraft back into a hangar or having it airborne at the time of overflight...

The question I have is "why did the government deny the existence of the base for so long?" I think it was pretty foolish for the government to do so when almost everyone knew where it was. By denying its existense that just raised more speculation about what really went on at the base.

Those are Janets. B-737's. The one you see facing NW
is on taxiway 30 from Runway 14R/32L to the Janet terminal
north of hanger 18. The one you see facing NE, just north
of the large hanger (hanger 18) is in tow, likely from inside
Hanger 18 to the Janet parking area must north of there.
If you pan north from there to the NW corner of the
main part of the complex, near the 4 white, large hangers,
you'll see a pair of what are probably F-16's.
From there, go east just a bit to the Helispot area that is
just west of Runway 32Left/14Right. You'll see a pair of Blackhawk helos
facing south.
Again, keep in mind that those pics are several years old.
Best guess by the local observers is Spring 2003.
