Recent Photos of Port Isabel AFS, TX

The view is looking roughly east-northeast. It appears that only four (4) houses remain today. There were twenty-seven (27) units originally.

This set of "Birds Eye" images, from the Microsoft "Virtual Earth" website (http://local.live.com), is interesting in that some views are clearly older than others.

Specifically, some views show the original Air Force Long-Range Radar (LRR) Operations building and the diesel Power Plant building, while other views show new construction at the same location.

Compare the recent radar-site photos to the one vintage photo at http://www.radomes.org/museum/photos/PortIsabelAFSTX1958.jpg and the document at http://www.radomes.org/museum/documents/811thBldgLocator.jpg.
