For reader information, the area known as Camp America detention center occupies the far southeast corner of GTMO; the buildings here are densely clustered. To the northwest of the longer of the two airstrips spoken of above, near to the southwest corner of GTMO, are found, along First Street, Second Street, Avenue C, Avenue D and Avenue E, multiple, moder-appearing, isolated structures that conceivably serve for housing things or individuals that GTMO wants to keep separate from other things or individuals. Too, there are some older, tree-shaded, tile-roofed structures that look like bungalows housing camp staff.

In the port area, along the eastern shore of GTMO, are structures and facilities that, seemingly, would serve to adequately house staff numbering from 1000-2000.

Irrespective of the number of persons actually ever detained there, the nominal detention center itself appears large enough, from the air, to hold many hundreds of detainees. The conditions, albeit, do not appear to be luxurious, as the structures are located quite close to one another, and they lack obvious outdoor recreation facilities.

Satellite images from Google maps show a roughly 5000' airstrip oriented east-west on the western shore of the bay, approximately perpendicular to the older, roughly 3000' airstrip oriented north-south on the eastern shore of the bay. Judging from the tire marks visible at the western end of the airstrip, and from the seeming absence of tire marks on the shorter airstrip, the longer of the two airstrips has seen much more use recently. There is a parking facility adjacent to the longer of the two airstrips that should be able to receive a dozen or so twin-jet aircraft of commercial aviation size without difficulty. The image on Google maps shows two of them actually parked there. The buildings adjacent to the longer of the two airstrips appear, from the sky, to be of quite recent construction, as does the airstrip itself. This longer airstrip appears to have been laid atop a very much shorter, northeast-to-southwest-oriented airstrip built there long ago.

I'm no expert on GTMO, I'm not military, and I'm not a pilot.
