This was the “high end” drive in in Lancaster when I lived there in the 70’s. I remember as a 13 year old sneaking in the trunk of my brother’s car to sit through Star Wars twice.
This Drive In also has the distinction of being the last drive in I ever visited. During Christmas holidays in 1982, my brother and I drove to Lancaster from the bay area and a group of buddies from middle school and ourselves saw 48 hours and Jekyl and Hde…Together Again.
It was also the secret laser base in Spies Like Us. That was 1985 and the theater must have been abandoned sometime earlier since shooting was done in 1984.
I lived in Lancaster from 1974 to 1979 and visited the Jet on several occasions. The last movie I recall seeing there was the WW2 movie A Bridge too FAR in 1977. The Lancaster Drive In seemed to get the better movies once they made it to Lancaster but if you wanted to see a Summer Blockbuster upon release you had to go down below to see them.
My last visit to Lancaster was 1986 and I am pretty sure the Jet was gone by then as was the Lancaster Drive In.
