Sacramento SIV-B Static Test Facility Today

On Terraserver I've found what remains of the Douglas Aircraft -
Sacramento Saturn SIV-B static test facility.

This is a picture of one of the SIV-B test stands when it was active.

The same test stand today, as seen on Terraserver:

Notice what remains of the liquid hydrogen storage tank, concrete test
stand and nearby corrugated steel building.

Sad to see the remains of the Apollo program rusting away and
neglected.

The old Douglas SIV-B facility is just east of former Mather AFB (now
civilian Mather Field) and just south of the AeroJet Test Facility in
Rancho Cordova, CA.

Yes, they should be bulldozed down and the land put to productive use.

Speaking of that, run right out and get a copy of USAPhotoMaps; it's a
freeware application (although the author would appreciate a donation)
that really makes Terraserver sing. Check out the "urban areas" color
phototography for the urban areas that are covered.
