Marine Corps Air Station Tustin
Marine Corps Air Station Tustin, Military air station in Tustin, California, US.
The Marine Corps Air Station Tustin spans across 1,600 acres in Orange County, featuring two enormous wooden hangars designed for lighter-than-air operations.
The base opened in 1942 as Naval Air Station Santa Ana, supporting observation blimps for antisubmarine patrols during World War II along the Southern California coast.
The remaining South Hangar, measuring 1,072 feet in length and 192 feet in height, stands as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.
The former military installation now forms part of Tustin Legacy, a mixed-use development project incorporating residential, commercial, and recreational spaces.
Before its closure in 1999, the base leased 530 acres to local farmers for commercial crop development while maintaining active military operations.
