    For the Warbird Lovers

    I finally got around to trying out our new scanner. I always said this would be the first photo scanned.
    My Dad (a blimp pilot for the Navy) took this from the top of a blimp hanger (not sure what base or the year).
    Let the warbird lovers begin to drool! Notice the Helldiver's way in the back.

    Okay, it isn't a pilot but you get the idea.

    Having done work in a hangar like that one, I can tell you its probably one of the following locations: MCAS Tustin, NAS Weeksville (Elizabeth City, NC) or NAS Tillamook Oregon

    Any chance it was NAS/NAES Lakehurst? They have several pre WWII airship hangars.
