Tuba City Airport, Satellite View
What This Image Shows
A second Google Maps capture of Tuba City Airport, this one on satellite view with the terrain and runway visible, alongside the same information card -- Arizona 86045, rated 3.4 from nine reviews, popular-times chart, phone number.
The satellite view adds what the road map cannot: the field is a single strip in open high desert with almost no supporting infrastructure. That is the physical fact underneath the "super-remote" characterization in the claim about where N888KG may have been heading.
It cuts both ways as evidence. A strip like this would be unobserved, which is the poster's point. It would also be unlit, unstaffed and unattractive for a jet arrival, which is the counter-point. Nothing in the tracking record shows the aircraft landing here or anywhere else during the coverage gap, and no arrival at Tuba City has been documented.
See the road-map view on Photo 40, the flight claim on Photo 3, and N888KG.
