Newhall Land & Farming Company/Indian Dunes Airfield (site)

Now a supply company, this was the site of the Indian Dunes Airfield.
Opening sometime in the 1960's, it was used to film numerous aviation-related scenes for television shows and movies.
Some of these include: The Black Sheep Squadron, Escape From New York, China Beach, and others.
The last scenes to be filmed here were those from The Rocketeer in 1989.
The field closed sometime thereafter.
