WW2 Hangar with Desert Mountain Views

Inyokern Airport has many spaces to offer including a real airport terminal building, a WW2 era airplane hangar, Runways and desert roads. Our authentic WWII-era hangar offers a rare and cinematic setting for events, productions, and private gatherings. Originally constructed as part of the U.S. Navy’s Harvey Field during World War II, the hangar reflects the rugged functionality and historic character of a 1940s military air base. This expansive “Kodiak” hangar features soaring ceilings, wide-span steel construction, and massive aircraft doors designed to accommodate vintage warbirds and large-scale equipment. Its industrial aesthetic—complete with exposed structural elements and weathered textures—creates a striking backdrop that blends aviation history with a raw, open-concept event space. Surrounded by active runways, desert landscapes, and additional WWII-era structures such as bunkers and ramp space, the hangar offers unmatched flexibility for everything from weddings and corporate events to film shoots and immersive experiences. With its combination of scale, history, and unique desert ambiance, this one-of-a-kind venue provides an unforgettable setting where past and present seamlessly meet.
