  Lockheed Plant(Closed) Lockheed moved to Burbank in 1928 from Hollywood and became the Valley's biggest private employer, with its own airport at the Five Corners area of Burbank. In the 1930s Lockheed moved to United Airport (today's Burbank Airport) and in 1940 renamed it Lockheed Air Terminal. The defense giant's secret Skunk Works and many hangars turned out the P-38, the Electra, the Constellation, the U-2 spy plane and the first stealth aircraft. Lockheed left Burbank entirely in the 1990s.

  This use to be the former location of the Lockheed Vega Plant A-1 where they made pre-war aircraft for Lindbergh and other famous early aviators.
