The FV 4201 Chieftain was the main battle tank of the United Kingdom during the 1960s and 1970s. It was one of the most advanced tanks of its era, and at the time of its introduction in 1966 had the most powerful main gun and heaviest armour of any tank in the world. The Chieftain also introduced a supine (lying backwards) driver position, enabling a heavily sloped hull with reduced height.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/chieftain-tank/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/chieftain-tank/ Fri, 12 Mar 2010 14:22:17 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/chieftain-tank/ 53.92456400 -0.96607400 <![CDATA[Unidentified old fort]]>

Looks like a bunker. Also similar to the raised areas that radars are mounted on but a bit too big and the dome is off-set. Why the wide driveway to the top?

Probably not a missile site because there is a large missile site / air defense site to the SW.

Could be just major radar support site for the area defenses.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/secure-saudi-military-site-bunker/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/secure-saudi-military-site-bunker/ Wed, 13 May 2009 16:29:46 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/secure-saudi-military-site-bunker/ 28.07634800 45.54402900 <![CDATA[Communications bunker facility (?)]]>

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 Fagot (Russian: Микоян и Гуревич МиГ-15) was a jet fighter developed for the USSR by Artem Mikoyan and Mikhail Gurevich. The MiG-15 was one of the first successful swept-wing jet fighters, and it achieved fame in the skies over Korea, where early in the war, it outclassed all enemy fighters. The MiG-15 also served as the starting point for development of the more advanced MiG-17 which would oppose American fighters over Vietnam in the 1960s. The MiG-15 is believed to have been one of the most numerous jet aircraft ever made, with over 12,000 built. Licensed foreign production perhaps raised the total to over 18,000.[1] The Mig-15 is often mentioned along with the F-86 Sabre in lists of the best fighter aircraft of the Korean War and in comparison with fighters of other eras.]]>

Black Pond private airstrip

The Black Pond Airfield was evidently built at some point between 1974-93.

The airfield consisted of a single 3,300' paved runway, which was apparently constructed on filled-in land in the middle of the lake.

The airfield does not appear to be very old, as the pavement & markings appear to be relatively recent.

Why was so much effort spent to construct this runway in the middle of the lake, instead of just clearing a patch of land alongside the lake?

Ian Baren reported in 2004, "The story I heard about Black Pond was that the president of the local bank built it for his own use – there is a modern metal hanger on the northeast side. I’ve never seen any plane(s) there though."

Jeff Green reported in 2005, “The land around Black Pond, the pond, and the landing strip all belong to Dean & Wayne Ryder, owners of the Putnam National Bank.

PNB has been around since the middle of the 1800's & the family has owned this land since then.

It [the airfield] sits a few hundred feet from my home.

Frequently on Saturday mornings Wayne (or is it Dean) goes flying or his friends come to visit.

He's got a propjet of some sort, hence the length of the runway.

The runway was built by draining Black Pond then filling in the subsurface for the runway which now connects several small 'islands' that were in the pond.”]]>
