What a waste of a perfectly good airport. Then again, it looks like it would be a blast!

Kind of a waste of a good car. I wonder how they got the all wheel drive to play nicely with some of those spins around the front wheels.

It may be awesome but...It is the fate of more and more airports every year. We should be looking at the awesome facility there and seeing those hangars filled with aircraft.

It was a victim of military BRAC closure. That was filmed at the former Marine Corps Air Station El Toro California.
The local community had a chance at using it but the eco nuts won over the airfield.
