I would be willing to chip in some money to get updated high resolution
imagery for metro Tulsa and eastern Oklahoma.  Latest imagery available for
the area's already in Bing and it's 2011-2013 vintage stock at this point.
Between the renaissance of Tulsa and many small towns in the region, 1 new
town built and incorporated, and 3 or 4 towns that went bust and are in the
process of being torn down and recycled for materials, that imagery's not
far from being unusably old.
