Airport Drive-In

The Airport Drive-In opened in 1951 and had a 200 car capacity. It was located down the road from the Galax Airport. From 1983 thru its closing in the late-1980’s it played adult films.

Any further information or corrections to this drive-in would be appreciated.

The address 1007 S. Main St., Galax, VA as reported by jwmovies is as close as Google will allow. The property now hosts a self-storage business and car wash with no trace of the drive-in remaining. http://tinyurl.com/hae52l8

Interestingly enough, not even in the 1963 aerial is there evidence of an airport or airfield nearby at least that I can see. So, just how did it get its name?
