Is it the original marquee too(minus the word Drive-in)? The Airway name looks the same too.

Opened with 6 comedy cartoons(not named), and “Song of the south”. The majorette neon sign is similar to the majorette neon sign from the former Campus Drive-in in San Diego, California, not at the shopping center on the site now. Where is the Airway Drive-in majorette neon sign now?

I think the drive-in site is on the market for sale or rent, according to a sign on the fence(Alta Avenue side)?
