Apparently, the tower erected in 1947 effectively doubled the height
of the former transmitter towers. In any event, the Fullerton Airport
was officially opened in 1927, and predates the 780' KFI tower by two
decades.


But the radio station predates the official airport opening by five years.
I'd wager the airport has changed significantly from the day it opened, just
as KFI has.

Here's a site that details a tour of the transmitter:

That's an interesting link. Thanks.

Here's another that indicates that the KFI transmitter was located at
1000 S. Hope St, Los Angeles until the 50,000 watt transmitter was
installed in Buena Park in 1931 (four years after Fullerton Airport
was formally established):
