I thought I'd share DD I just posted to answer someone on another board who questioned the authenticity of Freemarket's and Fish's photos from their trip last week. First, go to Google maps:

http://maps.google.com/maps

I don't know the shop garage's address, but type "515 Grant Road, Mineral Wells, Texas" in the search window and that gets you close. Keep in mind Google map satellite photos are neither real time nor current. This one seems to be around a year and a half old because it shows the Challenger rig in the shop garage yard. Push the satellite button in the upper right hand corner of the map. You should see a satellite photo with the street names listed. Zoom in as needed.

The little black rectangle on the north side of the road by the arrow is the roof of the little white "headquarters"(?) building in Freemarket's photo in post #37267. The light brown rectangle to the NNW with the row of trees on the west side is the roof of the white shop garage. You can see the white Challenger rig with its derrick lowered just south of the shop. This is a link to a photo I took in July, 2006, of the Challenger rig with the shop in the background (photo is looking NW). You can also see the "Fort Wolters Helicopter" building in the background through the center of the rig.

On the map, go west about 1100 feet until you come to Pickett Street. (Zoom out to see street names.) About 500 feet north of Grant Road on Pickett Street is the gate to the large work/storage yard where the Phantom was first assembled. Inside the gate turn left and follow the tire tracks north and that is where the Challenger with its derrick raised was located last week in Freemarket's photo in post #37076.

This is a link to a picture I took in November, 2005, showing both an address to verify the Grant Road vicinity and the Phantom rig in the background shortly after its derrick was raised for the first time.

For you doubters, check Freemarket's post #37267 again. Compare the two photos and you will see the same "Fort Wolters Helicopter" building in both photos, but the rig derricks are different. My photo shows the Phantom which is more pointed at the top, Freemarket's shows the Challenger.

Merry Christmas to ALL!
