Inyokern Airport, is a public airport located in Inyokern, California, United States, serving the Indian Wells Valley area of Kern County. It is owned by the Indian Wells Valley Airport District. The airport is mostly used for general aviation, but is served by one commercial airline.
In the wake of the drag strip's closing, the airport has been actively promoting its use for film shoots,with the Ridgecrest Regional Film Commission marketing it (Runway 28) as "the region's #1 filming location". A notable example of this new use is a television advertisement titled "Gravity", for the Lexus IS.The airdrop "target" featured in the commercial, where the falling automobile hits the ground, was painted on the old drag strip; however, many of the vehicle shots preceding the car drop actually feature the Lexus rolling down runway 20. Other notable automotive television ads shot here include most spots from Saab's "Born from Jets" campaign, as well as commercials for Volkswagen.
