Description
This is the Pacific Airmotive Corp., an aircraft engine testing facility in Burbank, California. When I happened upon this place, it had been abandoned for a few years, and most of it was largely untouched by scavengers, the taggers had not yet made their way into it either. I spent a bit of time walking around the place, taking pictures as quickly as I could. Since it was largely unblemished except by the ravages of time, I was able to get some pretty interesting images. I worked quickly though, because I knew that any moment the authorities could show up and run me off. I revisited this facility several times, until I was not able to enter any longer. Shortly after my initial visits, the fencing had been repaired, and entry was no longer possible. A year or so later, the entire facility was wiped off the map, demolished right down to the ground. It was a lucky find for me, and it gave weight to the Grace Hopper quote, "It's easier to ask forgiveness, than it is to get permission." That doesn't always work out though. -YoPedro
