Possible MiGs at Aberdeen, Maryland?? +others/Overhead Imagery

While playing around with Google Earth, I tried to take a look at the “Mile of Tanks” at Aberdeen, MD – unfortunately, the high-res imagery stops just short of the display area. Did better with the new Yahoo Maps overhead imagery (maps.yahoo.com) and remembering that B-29 and other hulks remained at Aberdeen for a long time, scrolled around trying to find anything interesting. Which I did, in an area just off Phillips AAF

Starting out at the “top”:

I take these to be a group of A-7s with a single F-8?

Further down:

T-28s plus a Douglas-looking 4-engined transport C-118? plus 2 F-8s? (one missing a tail) and an F-101?

group of A-7s & F-4s? plus C-130, F-15s? + T-33?

Fuselages?

Now here’s something that struck my old eyes as maybe exotic – I read these as possible MiG-21s, although that’s open to interpretation, of course.

Live Local has older lower-res BW imagery of the area, which seems to show it was more occupied at one point in time…this showed a couple of bright “blobs” in the woods between this area and the airfield which might have been something aeronautical..the one kinda looked B57-ish but that was probably my mind making it fit a silhouette…

Perhaps someone knows more about the present residents…looks interesting.

One can only wonder what was dumped in the lakes there over the years 😉
