Censored Google Earth Airport

If you go to Google Maps or Google Earth and enter the coordinates: 51deg 39’ 34.40"N, 5deg 42’ 03.42"E, you will see an airport that is completely pixellated. Is there some controversy at that airport, or is it just a glitch? (Airport is Volkel Air Force Base).

There are quite a lot of places that are ‘UnGooglized’ that way. Often military, or security related.

What’s also interesting is that Col Saunders is blurred at every KFC site on Google Street View!

Interesting, thanks.

Interesting, because most of the info on Google.com is showing and a little is pixeled out.

Pulled it up on Bing Maps and it’s reasonably clear, except one big area that is blacked out. http://binged.it/1p0war8
It’s Volkel Military Air Base, but it looks like they are racing cars on the tarmac.
