This is a favorite site for the Mythbusters program. Many of their programs are filmed there taking advantaged of the lengthy abandoned runway and long shore. Things like the archimedes mirrors, trying to pull the axle off a cop care, exploding wooden cannons, competitive speed contests, and so many more have been tested there.
