Because you're gonna see what those satellites see "nothing". All the stuff
is underground(do you really think that the military is gonna keep stuff
they don't want you to see in plain sight???). The Goverment just doesn't
want clowns crashing into buildings, and hangers at the site. ALso it is an
active airfield with aircraft landing and taking off. YOu don't see folks
doing lazy-8's photographing your local airport do you?. If memory serves me
correct all military bases are off limits for aircraft. No fly overs allowed
what so ever(unless getting an escort by a pair of F-15/F-16's to a local
airfield for a friendly chat with your local neighborhood FBI/NSA/CIA/CID
agents is your idea of having fun).
