Who needs google earth 8) We can just send you out to do some recon :D

Nice pics, thanks for sharing. All I can correctly I.D. is a Skyraider, B-25, and some of the B-36.

The B-25 looks to be fairly complete, hopefully one day it could be sold and restored as a flyer. According to Mike Henniger's Soplata collection list:

North American B-25 J Mitchell 44-31121 USAAF 108-37196 Soplata, Walter "BD-708", "708" B-25J (1944) USAF livery with code "BD-708" applied to the airframe. This code maybe be incorrect, or incorrectly noted here, but it is confirmed with photo evidence there is a "708" marked on the nose. Once noted as sold to Atlanta, Georgia, circa 1992, but was not sold and was stall at Walts as of 2002.

If you look closely, the nose of the B-25 and Skyraider are pointing directly at the FG-1D with it's wings folded, probably 15-20 feet away.
