I found this YouTube about the now demolition of the Blue Cube taken from a quadcopter most interesting.
First from the historical point of view of the continued down sizing of activities around Moffett Field and
second from what a Radio Controlled Quadcopter can do.
Onizuka (Blue Cube) and Lockheed/Martin are adjacent to Moffett Field where I retired from the Navy back in 1983 from VP-9 which was at Hanger 2.
Over the years, working in support of NASA Ames, I had seen the closing of Naval Air activities and then the leaving of the Air Force and now the buildings continue to come down. The big dish antennas were always noticeable from the highway 101 or State Route 237 as you passed through Sunnyvale and Mountain View.

Breaking my 'no flying in urban environment' rule for a last chance to capture flight stills of the 'Blue Cube', Onizuka Air Force Station, before it's completely torn down. Flown rough for stills using a QAV500 quadcopter. 4/20/2014 37.40474, -122.02858
