Originally Posted By SuperDry Fallon really isn't any closer to Las Vegas than Miramar was. My understanding is that one of the reasons that Top Gun was relocated to NAS Fallon from its previous location at NAS Miramar in San Diego was it had become just too high profile in the years after the movie, providng too many distractions for the trainees. There's bound to be someone around LP that has a more definitive answer.

Top Gun and the Navy’s F-14 Tomcat and E-3 Hawkeye squadrons were relocated and the base was once again redesignated as Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. Marines began arriving in August 1994, and by 1997 MCAS Miramar was fully operational. In 1999, El Toro and Tustin were closed. >>
