P3D Very Large Array

I was watching the movie Contact on TNT last night, and I was thinking how
impressive the antennas of the Very Large Array would look in hyperstereo.
Has anyone ever captured this?
Take a look here, if you don't know what I'm talking about:

It looks like it would be a decent side trip for someone driving into Mesa,
AZ, from the east along I-40. If someone does make it, I'd love to see the
pictures.
I did find this warning from the same Web site, though:
Trespassing: The ranch land surrounding the VLA is all
privately owned. When driving along the arms of the VLA, you
must stay on designated access roads. If you must open
a gate, close it behind you. To use private property for either
ground or aerial photography or to gain access to such property,
arrangements must be made directly with the individual landowner.
Of course, that just makes it more challenging. :-)
