Enola Gay

Just saw a program on the History channel about the atomic bombs at the end of the second world war. A quick check with Google Earth shows that the pits used to load the bombs are easily visible from space, as is the airfield. Well, most of tinian shows up as an airfield or base area for that matter.

The two pits are visible here:

15.083391993, 145.634355494

with the airstrips visible running east to west just below.
