wrote in Message-Id: .net: It is an old WWll blimp hangar and is the largest wooden structure in the world. There used to be two hangars but about 10 years ago one of them burned down while being used to store hay. I agree; I find these old blimp hangars are interesting, but those below purport to be the largest: http://www.ghostbase.org/tustin/hangars.htm " The Blimp Hangars as MCAS Tustin are the largest free standing wooden structures in the Western World, standing over 400 yards long, and over 18 stories high. Constructed from wood that was sent pre-cut from Northwestern saw mills, these hangars consist of the center wooden arch and the two door structures on each end. Build to house anti-submarine Blimps during World War II, these structures now serve as the hangars for helicopters of Marine Air Group 16. These hangars were built in 1942, and are scheduled to be decommissioned in 1997." Here's another pictu http://airshowsuperstore.com/hangars.shtml |
