Victory Road at Red Hill in Tustin, Orange County CA, Construction Aeria...




Aerial Photography of Tustin’s Blimp Hangar Redevelopment

Tustin, CA is in the midst of a dramatic transformation—and there’s no better way to witness it than from above. At the heart of this change is the redevelopment of the former Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Tustin, once home to the iconic military blimp hangars, now being reimagined as a vibrant new hub for innovation, housing, and commerce.

As aerial photographers specializing in large-scale construction progress and marketing imagery, AirViews Aerial Photos is proud to document this once-in-a-generation redevelopment from the sky.

The Tustin blimp hangars, built in 1942, are among the largest wooden structures in the world. These colossal buildings were originally designed to house Navy airships during World War II and later served as key infrastructure during the Cold War and Vietnam eras.

Following the base closure in 1999, the site remained largely unused for decades—until now.

Today, the Tustin Legacy project is bringing new life to this historic land. The plan includes:

  • Over 1,500 acres of mixed-use development
  • Residential communities
  • Parks and open space
  • Commercial, retail, and industrial zones
  • A state-of-the-art technology and innovation district

This makes it one of the most ambitious redevelopment projects in Orange County history.

Large-scale construction projects like the Tustin hangar redevelopment require more than just blueprints—they demand clear visual documentation from the sky.

At AirViews Aerial Photos, we provide:

  • High-altitude progress photos from airplanes—ideal for covering wide areas like the full hangar base
  • Detailed zoom-ins on key construction zones
  • Drone photos for lower-altitude details
  • Time-lapse construction sequences showing progress month by month
  • Marketing visuals that help developers, investors, and city planners promote the site

Whether you’re building infrastructure, seeking investor updates, or documenting progress for future promotional materials, we tailor each flight to meet your needs.

Tustin is becoming one of Southern California’s top growth corridors. The redevelopment of the blimp hangar site is a symbol of Orange County's future, and aerial photography is the perfect way to capture that transformation—from pre-construction land clearing to completed streets, neighborhoods, and commercial centers.

At AirViews Aerial Photos, we specialize in documenting Southern California’s most important redevelopment projects, and the Tustin blimp hangar site is one of the most exciting stories we’re following.

If your company is involved with the Tustin Legacy development, or you need compelling imagery of this evolving landscape, contact us to schedule an aerial photo flight.

We’re based in Tustin Serving all of Southern California, and beyond
