Aloe AAF was established by the United States Army Air Forces as an advanced flying school, first known as Victoria Field #2 on 28 July 1942.

Its training unit was the 347th Aviation Squadron, which used the North American AT-6 Texan, Curtiss P-40 Warhawk and lastly Republic P-47 Thunderbolts.

Kupfernagel purchased the property which had been used for drag racing, and named it "Six Flags Raceway Park".

The new owner continued to operate races at the airfield until the end of 1975, when he sold the land to a developer.
