Maybe it should be called the Airline Fly-In!

The Airline Drive-In was operated by RKO Stanley between 1964 and 1969. The drie-in closed in 1981. From 19754 until it closed it was operated by Tercar Theatres.

There is a 1965 list of Houston drive-ins on this site:

Maybe I should type this in Braille. Address and location of this drive-in is already known.

Here is a 1964 aerial photo. The land had been redeveloped by 1981.

The AIRLINE DRIVE IN in 1956 parked 600 cars and at that time it was owned by LONE STAR THEATRES.

Went here a few times while living in the north Houston suburb of Aldine between May 1977 and March 1979.

Saw CLOSE ENCOUNTERS here. The film broke at one point and it was,like,a 10 minute wait. needless to say,no one was pleased.

Saw JAWS 2 here but we had to leave because my mom got a coke accidently dumped on her from the roof of the car where my sister and her friends were sitting. We missed GRAY LADY DOWN, a WW II movie. no biggie,the movie kinda sucks really.
