Goodyear Airdock

This was built in 1929 to house building operations for dirigibles and then blimps. It's 1,175 feet long, 325 feet wide and 211 feet high. It's mounted on rollers to accomodate expansion and contraction with temperature changes. Both ends have doors that ride on tracks to slide around the sides of the building. It's so big that it sometimes rains inside the building!

This is an amazing structure! I believe there is one in CA like that one.

Perfect choice Patty. Good shot. I got to go in that hanger once. Couldn't believe how big it was. Saw one of these flying around this afternoon. DJ
