Hi all!

The thing that looks like the top of a tall building outside of the window is actually the window shade, as is more obvious in a larger image.
So, yes, they are at Ken's home on the airfield.

Oooooo, I never thought of that. Considering I have never had outer blinds (shutters we call them) on a house I live in.
So CAN you see Ken's plane outside the window or door, like I remember?
Curiosity says, "I think I am going to watch that eps today and check."

We're going to get some shutters like that for our new house (although they'll be inside). Do you think our new home will look like Ken's shack?

Barrdwing... your list has me Thanks for sharing this!
And thanks to James for his explanation of the base, and to everybody for their screen caps! I didn't realize how many different views their were of the base, it seems to look all the same to me when I'm watching the epidsodes 
I've always lived in a colonial so we have shutters but not working ones . But I agree in the picture it could look like a building.

That is because the team has retired and are using their ISO bonus money to move up to $500, 000 homes.

Back in the it was written they needed whole rooms for computers unlike today. The concept of a smaller home computer was nothing but a futuristic dream...So I can understand the huge computers in they show at Centre Neptune/Cresent Coral base.

See the influence Gatchaman is having on you...
I thought for a second there you were going to say you started looking at trailers to live in...and then you decided to by an airfield instead so your Eagle had a place to park his Cessna...

All right, finally a minute free to type!
Some More Fun Things to Do Around Center Neptune
Spread rumors that due to funding cuts, the cafeteria is now substituting Spam for all pork products.
Steal one of those little dishes of pudding from the cafeteria. Prop it upside-down on some bricks. See how many days--or weeks, or months--it takes to fall out of the dish.
Put a whoopee cushion on one of the chairs on the Phoenix's bridge.
Glue a dead spider to a small piece of glass. Tape it in front of the lens of one of the intermittent-sweep Security cameras.
Post "LOST" notices in the lounges and cafeteria with a picture of an amoeba.
Start a hallway basketball league.
Jam a tape of "H.R. Puf'n'stuff" in one of the lounge viewers.
When someone asks about the above, tell them you think it's a briefing tape and doesn't Witchy-Poo look like Zoltar? If they buy it up to the point where the broom falls out of the sky, give yourself extra points.
Send G2 an anonymous award for "Most Inventive Use of Feathers."
Hang an air freshener in the G-4.
Start an Irish dance club. Move the rehearsal site around as much as possible: next to the cafeteria, above Chief Anderson's office, in the Phoenix's drydock . . . .
Teach yourself how to play the bagpipes.
After you think you've mastered the bagpipes, start wearing a kilt and sporran when off-duty. Make up your own plaid design.
Stencil a box with CAUTION: SCORPIONS, LIVE, AUSTRALIAN and leave it open on the floor of the locker room.
Carry a mouth harp in your pocket and practice it during slow moments.
Tell people your department's new defense project involves crossing jumping cholla cactus with poison oak.
Try the old burning-bag-of-compost trick in front of someone's door. Who knows? This is an undersea base full of science types. It might actually work.
Make up holidays. "Hey, everyone, it's Sanitation Appreciation Day!"
Buy a large hairy fake spider and perch it on your computer monitor. If anyone asks, his name is Boris. At Christmas, tie a fancy bow and a little bell to one of his legs. Give him a little green hat on St. Patrick's Day, and a cotton ball at Easter (he's babysitting).
Keep a Tagalog-to-Swahili dictionary at your desk. If anyone asks, it's to help you with your work manuals.
Leave a pile of empty cans balanced at the top of a stairwell, then remove the nearest light bulb. Put a sign outside reading QUIET PLEASE: RECORDING SESSION NEARBY.
If your field is mathematics or physics, put together a dissertation with lots of incomprehensible formulae "proving" that the latest Spectran ship cannot possibly fly (or travel in space, underground, underwater, etc.). Start a loud-voiced discussion somewhere public with someone whom you can count on to disagree violently with whatever you say.
Write a theme song for Spectra and hum it loudly during attacks.
Compose an anonymous love letter to Zoltar and leave it on someone else's desk.
Become a public, vocal fan of Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Lost in Space, and Star Wars. Work elements of these into conversations at every opportunity.
Tuck your shirt into your underpants so that the waistband hangs out. See how long it takes for someone to actually tell you. Fix it, then unfix it when they're not looking.
