I thought I may have been the only person here who know of Indian Dunes. Some of my friends raced at Indian Dunes including a 9th grader who was sponsored by Maco. I lived in the Valencia housing development before it was a city. Went to WS Hart high school where many of my friends were getting jobs at a new place called Magic Mountain.I didn't know Aunt Bee ever learned to fly, I figured I must have seen every episode at some point but I guess not. The area Vic Morrow was killed in during the Twilight Zone filming was known as Indian Dunes, I used to ride dirt bikes there as a kid. It was also used for Baa Baa Black Sheep TV series as their "base" and they operated the Corsairs from there. Lots of TV and movie production took place there.
Before my time at Chino but, I’m told it wasn't uncommon the see the Baa Baa Black Sheep F4U’s at Chino for lunch.
A little known fact, Aunt Bea was a licensed pilot.
Aunt Bee of "The Andy Griffith Show" and "Mayberry R.F.D" Fame began her show business career as a "Flying Beauty" in a traveling barnstorming show. She started as a wing walker, but soon learned to be quite a pilot. A big part of the show included the male pilot parachuting out of the plane while she was walking the wing and she would hop in to the cockpit do several tricks and then land the plane. When the U.S. entered WWII Frances was the third woman commissioned as a pilot in the Women's Air Corp and flew 14 missions (all within the U.S. and Canada) before the war ended and she started her acting career.
