This sub-land is themed after an airfield in tribute to California's pilots and engineers from the 1940s to the mid-60s.
It has walls made of old railroad ties, and World War II runway mats out and around.
The main ride here is Soarin' Over California, a ride that simulates a hang glider tour of California.
Also in this area are the Taste Pilot's Grill counter service restaurant, a shop, and a water play area outside of Soarin' Over California, with a giant rocket jet that sprays mist.
The number 47 is hidden in various places as a reference to 1947, the year the sound barrier was broken.
Also, the clock on the Fly 'N Buy Souvenir Shop is stopped at the exact time the sound barrier was broken on Oct 14, 1947 by Chuck Yeager.
