the north hangar at the long-closed Tustin Marine Corps Air Station has caught fire, and allowed to burnt to the ground... it was 17 stories high... and hasn't been used in over 20 years for anything but tv show and movie scenes




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.”
