Wish this weren’t in the middle of nowhere, looks like it would be a cool place to save/restore.

I have a thing for old hangars. These two are at Santa Barbara:

They show up better using *birdseye* on Bing maps than on Google Earth.

The one I really like is a recreation. The Rocketeer hangar at Santa Maria was moved & bought up to code after filming & is now part of the museum there.

How long ago did it cease to operate/was it abandoned?

It would … but it also looks pretty good in its current state.
