Tustin, California: Two Giant Airship Hangars
Built of wood during World War II. Slightly smaller, and not as stylish, as the giant airship hangar in Mountain View, California, but still impressive. There are two, but you'll only be able to get close to the southern one.

- Valencia South Loop Rd, Tustin, CA
- Directions:
- I-405 exits 8 or 8A. Turn right onto Dyer Rd and drive southeast for about two miles. Turn left onto Jamboree Rd. You'll see one of the hangars on the left; take the first exit onto Warner/Park Ave (it may not be marked). Drive north to the hangar.
- RA Rates:
- Worth a Detour
