George, I think, not March. There were F-4s at George but not at
Marsh. He flew into the side of Mt San Antonio (Baldy) fairly near
the top, as I recall. It took the recovery crews some time to find
the site, I believe, because there had been no witnesses and they had
to wait for the weather to clear.

Dino was CANG, not USAF. He wasn't flying out of George.
I thought so, too, but the March site says he was a Reserve officer,
not CANG. However, I now see that this isn't a .mil site, but a .org
site, so maybe it's not as authoritative as I thought it was.
OK, looking at the IMDB, It was San Gorgonio, not San Antonio. Which
definitely says it wasn't George. That leaves March and CANG as
pretty much the only options, just as you said. I probably got
"George" from "Gorgonio".
Just as an aside, Frank Sinatra's mother was killed when her chartered
bizjet (a Lear, I think) hit the other side of San Gorgonio.
