Turning the view of GeoEye-Ikonos_1m on and off shows a change in
registration of the photo imagery around the airstrip. The point found
by a Google Earth Search is east of the runway by a little bit, I thought
due to rounding of the coordinate. Turning off the 1m view puts the point
on the runway. The point noted above is at the north end of the runway, at
a connection with an unused dirt runway. Toggling the 1m view on puts that
same point on East Walker Road on the photo.

You can see different planes on the tarmac. I would expect that someone is
performing photo comparisons between the two views to look for new items.

Seeing the planes on the ground gives you a "best view" of what you might
be looking for. If there is an aircraft at an angle, or damaged, it would
be smaller. My view looks like I would need to be at an eye altitude of
2000 feet or less to see anything.

Does anyone know where the other airplanes, the "previously unknown"
aircraft were located? Looking at that might give a clue what needs to be
discovered.
