Two hangars were built in 1942 for the air station to protect military blimps and are among the largest wooden structures ever constructed; military helicopters later parked inside them. The air station, owned by the U.S. Navy, shut down at 1999.
The iconic hangars, 17 stories high and 1,000 feet long, were visible for miles and been featured in television shows and films, among them “JAG,” “The X Files,” “Austin Powers,” “Pearl Harbor” and “Star Trek.”
