No more sat views of Greek air force bases

Sorry if it was reported before (I didn't find any previous report about this), but I just found out that there are no more available satelite pictures (google earth, maplandia) of Greek airports, including, of course, air force bases.
Sad, as they usually provided interesting informations before a visit in the area, by showing derelicts, wrecks, etc. (for example, at Chania, with the T-33s line up).

I understand security rules, but in the same time, no bluring of the images at Sigonella, Mildenhall, Lakenheath, etc.

The way in which this was implemented also appears to have been somewhat haphazard: last year, Kefalonia (purely civil) was blurred already, but Tanagra (purely military) was only blurred very recently. Pity though. Even Kerkyra (Corfu) did not escape the blurring, whereas spotting "on the ground" is (still?) accepted there...

Yes, very strange ...
Could it be, that only the FRAPORT-airports are blurred out?

Spotting on the civil airports is of course still allowed
