Tustin Blimp Hangars

The Tustin Blimp Hangars are large, historic structures located in Tustin, California, built during World War II to house airships, or blimps, used for naval reconnaissance. These massive, curved buildings, made from steel and fabric, are notable for their distinctive design and significant size—each hangar can hold several blimps at once. While the blimps are no longer in operation, the hangars have become iconic landmarks, representing a unique part of aviation history and military architecture. Today, there are ongoing discussions about their preservation and potential adaptive reuse.
