A scheduled launch of August 4, 1948 was pushed back to August 8, 1948 when the Skyway launched with “Three Little Girls in Blue.” The facility became home to the Skyway Flea Market & Trade Day. The final film screened was January 13, 1985 with “Police Academy.” The drive-in screen was razed on February 14, 1987.
Actually, the Skyway did not close on January 13, 1985. It continued operating afterward. On June 6, 1985, the Skyway Drive-In was renamed the Sunset Drive-In right after new management took over. The Sunset (or Skyway) closed for the final time on August 30, 1986 with “Friday The 13th Part VI”.
A closer address is 3802 AL-21, Oxford, AL.
This puts it right on the property.
Today, Skyway Mini Storage sits on the property, but you can still see the outline and ramps.
