About the Bel-Air Estates Drive-In TheaterThe Bel-Air Drive-In was one of the first

combination drive-in/fly-in theaters in thecountry.

At its peak, the Bel-Air Fly-In Drive-InTheater held 100-150 cars per night, plus anysmall planes that decided to fly in, land on thegrassy runway, taxi in, grab a speaker andwatch the show. After the show was over,planes would simply reverse their route and flyoff.

The drive-in ceased operation when strongwinds blew down half the screen in the late1970s.

Current owners are Steve and LorraineBeland. They resurrected the movie screen in2008.

About the Bel-Air Estates Drive-In TheaterThe Bel-Air Drive-In was one of the first

combination drive-in/fly-in theaters in thecountry.

At its peak, the Bel-Air Fly-In Drive-InTheater held 100-150 cars per night, plus anysmall planes that decided to fly in, land on thegrassy runway, taxi in, grab a speaker andwatch the show. After the show was over,planes would simply reverse their route and flyoff.

The drive-in ceased operation when strongwinds blew down half the screen in the late1970s.

Current owners are Steve and LorraineBeland. They resurrected the movie screen in2008.
