It doesn't look there is any airstrip?
This is the image of Chigua (Johnson South) Island and there is no airstrip.
But I am pretty certain there is going to be airstrips on Yongshu (Fiery Cross) and Subi Islands.
Let's wait and see.

do you think the final area would be as big as 7 sq km? ... it seems go that way
I went over some of my notes. There are likely to be airstrips on Meiji (Mischief) Island and Huayang (Cuarteron) Island. So, airstrips on Subi, Yongshu (Fiery Cross), Meiji and Huayang. Looking at this map, you can understand that these are the most logical positions. The Chinese have a grand plan and they are executing this plan.
The size of the entire Subi reef is about 15 sq km. I think the final area would be about 3 to 4 sq km. That's my personal view not based on any evidence, just pure guessing.

Thanks for the frequent photo updates, ahojunk. We all really appreciate them.
Google Earth has a new photo of Triton Island, the first in nine years. Recall that this is the island nearest the oil rig incident this past summer. The EEZ that China claims from Triton Island justified their oil exploration.
How would you evaluate the progress of their terraforming?
Does anyone have recent photos Taiping Island's new harbor?

What is the structure in the red square on Gaven Reef? It's in the 2012 Google Earth picture as well as some of the more recent construction photos of Gaven Reef.
