Fightertown USA, also known as NAS Miramar, was a United States Navy fighter jet facility located in San Diego, California. It was the home base for several fighter squadrons, including the famous "Top Gun" squadron, which was immortalized in the 1986 movie of the same name starring Tom Cruise.
NAS Miramar was established in 1952 and served as a training facility for Navy and Marine Corps aviators. The base was renowned for its high-performance aircraft and its role in training some of the best fighter pilots in the world. It was also known for its annual airshow, which attracted thousands of aviation enthusiasts each year.
In 1996, NAS Miramar was designated as a Marine Corps Air Station and was renamed Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. The base is still operational today and continues to serve as a training facility for Marine Corps and Navy pilots. While the name "Fightertown USA" is no longer officially used, the legacy of the base as a top training facility for fighter pilots lives on.
