The latest Google Maps imagery seems to show that it's still there at
32.9970N, 112.2723W. It's amazing how persistent aluminum structures are
when you keep them dry.

Copy Bob's co-ordinates into Google Earth and zoom in. You can't miss it:
its 30m SE of Bob's co-ordinates: to be precise the nose is 29.85 m away
on a bearing of 122 degrees. The details are fairly clear at an eye
altitude of 100-150ft AGL, which is about as low as you can go without
Google Earth switching to Street View - and of course nothing is 3D
except the nearest hills.
