That's cool! I live in south Tustin, close to the border of the former base. There are still two of the enormous dirigible hangers there, sitting in the middle of a vast empty field. Just a couple weeks ago they finally made Tustin Ranch Road a through street, going right through the middle of the former base, and right by the hangers. I'm probably going to take video of myself playing the pipes in front of these hangers for Derek's "Rabble" music video project.
There's a new shopping centre "The District" on the former base, and evidently some of the base's land was pledged originally to the Santa Ana Unified School District, though actually being within the city of Tustin.
And they're slapping up townhomes as fast as they can, literally in the shadows of these huge structures
