Double Missed Bridge
Following on from our previously posted double bridge and missed bridge, Google Sightseeing is proud to present, the double missed bridge!
Someone really needs to fire those engineers…

Picacho Auxiliary Army Airfield #1 is today used by helicopters of the AZ National Guard, based at the nearby Silverbell Army Heliport, and consists of six short paved runways (they don’t need to be very long as helicopters, not planes, land there). You can see a chopper parked at the top of the light brown strip.
The Airfield was built during WW2 as a satellite of the nearby Marana Army Airfield (now Pinal Airpark) and if you zoom out a little bit you can make out the original landing mat at a 45 degree angle to the new heliport. The former runways are clearest to the east of the heliport and run north-south and east-west.
More information about the airfield is available here.
Home to the New England Patriots, Gillette Stadium was still under construction when this photo was taken. You can also see the old Foxboro Stadium (which Gillette stadium has replaced) to the west.
