Burbank Airport a filming location ??


I notice one of the filming locations was Warner Brothers Burbank Studio.
Judging by the mountain range in the background, it sure looks like the dive sequences with the Grumman F3F might have been filmed at Burbank Airport. It's a favorite spot for filming then and today, near to the studios. NCIS-LA has filmed a number of episodes there as well when an airport is required..

I flew into Burbank a couple years ago and the scenery looked real familiar.

I thought the same. Other locations being North Island and Pensacola of course.

Pensacola!
Some of those shots are still the same. The coast line at NAS and across the bay at Ft. Pickens because on both sides it is National Park and has been kept the same. Even that light house is still here.

Ephemeron.
