Although it's currently used as a workshop for building wood and metalwork around the lot, this cavernous soundstage was previously the home of interior mockups of two aircraft (a 707 and a 747) so that films such as the Airport disaster series could film under controlled conditions. The planes were removed around 2002 as the workshop space became more important than disaster movies.
Productions filmed on this stage include
