The location is the former Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) in Tustin, CA and these hangers were originally for the Naval/Marine Blimps. Base was closed in 1999.

Navy K-class blimps are stored in a Tustin hangar circa 1942.

Could have been very useful addition to the logistics package for afganistan. 250 metric tonnes for the largest version, might take 10 trucks off the road.
