"The Portal of the Folded Wings"
Burbank Aviation Museum Photo

Overview

The Portal of the Folded Wings is located just south of the Burbank airport in beautiful Valhalla Memorial Park. Originally built in 1924, (6 years before United Airport/Burbank was built) it was once the grand entrance to the memorial park. On December 17, 1953 (the 50th anniversary of powered flight) the Portal was dedicated as a "Shrine to Aviation" and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Portal is a temporary home to the Burbank Aviation Museum. Docents are there on Sundays from 1pm until 3 pm, when the weather is not cold or rainy. You can visit the structure and resting places daily during normal business hours. Docents are currently working on a 21' long orbiter monument, to be placed in front of the Portal building. This new attraction will honor those who flew into space and particularly those who made the supreme sacrifice in that effort.
