It was called, appropriately enough, MCAS Tustin. The hangars are
used occasionally for movie sets now. The surface of the moon in Tom
Hanks "From Earth to the Moon" was shot there. And in "Pearl Harbor"
it's the practice airfield where Doolittle's people fly off in B-25's.
You'll see in those shots they never show the horizion - modern
buildings in all directions.
