I've done a little quickie modification to the map.  If you click
the base name in the right hand column, the little window that opens
has a link labelled "Try Live view" which will display a zoomed-in
live.com aerial view for the base's ostensible location.

I suggest clicking this link in whatever way your browser WILL OPEN
IT IN A NEW WINDOW OR TAB.  That way you can preserve your google
maps view.  (If you open the live view in the same browser window,
the "back" button will NOT restore your original google maps view).

I have now seen plenty of ugly google maps satellite views, so this
feature provides some relief!

This feature should also make it far simpler to check whether a particular
base has been properly located.

For convenience, here's the address again:
