The address “2301 N. Air Depot Boulevard, Midwest City, OK” was way off, and there were no drive-ins on or near N. Air Depot Rd, according to 1954 aerial photos.
The S. Airport Rd address puts the drive-in just a few blocks away from Tinker AFB Airport, and there just happens to be a drive-in visible there in the 1954 aerial photo.
“2301 N. Air Depot Boulevard” might have been valid in 1950, but is does not map anywhere near the correct location today.
This is a comment given on Facebook for the drive-ins of Midwest City;
“In the 1950s MWC had two outdoor drive in theaters. The Bomber Drive In at the SW corner of Douglass & 15th Street & The Tinker Drive In West side of Air Depot at Adair Blvd.Both Theaters were busy on weekends.”
Using that information, the correct address for the Tinker Drive-in should be:
S Air Depot Blvd & Adair Blvd, Midwest City, OK 73110
