A plane comes in for a landing over the movie screen at the Fly-In Drive-In Theater in Farmingdale, N.J., July 20, 1951. The idea of combining fly-in facilities with drive-in parking space originated with Ed Brown, a World War II Navy flier and owner of an airport in Farmingdale. Movie- bound planes land at the airport, then taxi a few hundred feet down a special runway to the theater. Fliers come to the theater from a radius of a hundred miles, according to Brown.
