"Sheriff without a Gun".....what airline did they fly?

TWA(Trans-World Airlines) seems to be the consensus so far at Miss Crump's BB.

Except that TWA did not even serve Raleigh/Durham in the 1960s, much less fly nonstop to El-Lay! (This is the assumption that they took a bus to Raleigh which I think was mentioned in the episode.)

TWA was also used by the production company for Gomer Pyle where Carter goes home to Wichita to visit Ma and Gomer stows away on the plane and winds up shadowing Carter during his leave. Look closely though and you'll see the location shooting for both departure (El-Lay? San Diego?) and arrival (Wichita) airports was all done at LAX!

So, I wonder what airline, and from what city, a family from Mount Airy, NC would have taken in the 1960s to get to Hollywood?
