MCAS TUSTIN IS ON FIRE | The north hangar, Hangar 1, at the former Marine Corps Air Station Tustin, which is about 40 miles southwest of Los Angeles, caught fire at about 1 a.m. Tuesday. County Fire Chief Brian Fennessy said no one was believed to be in the building at the time of the fire and there were no reported injuries. The three-alarm fire led to more than 70 firefighters and 16 firefighting vehicles from across Southern California responding to flames that lit up the pre-dawn sky. Initia

When they were completed in 1943, Tillamook’s twin blimp hangars were marvels of wartime engineering. Each structure was 175 feet tall, 1,072 feet long and nearly 300 feet wide — large enough that one hangar could house six football fields. One of those giants, Hangar A, burned to the ground in 1992. The other, Hangar B, has loomed over the south end of Tillamook for more than 80 years, a mammoth landmark that houses the Tillamook Air Museum just outside the small dairy town on the Oregon coast.
