Top Gun moved to Fallon, Nevada. Miramar is a Marine air base these days. Poor guys there are outrageously restricted in the airspace. No afterburners, pull the throttles way back as soon as airborne, etc. The city of SD is growing like a cancer all around it, and the politicians and developers covet the vast land the base is on.

Sadly, you are very, very correct.

There have been tons of rumors here at MCAS Yuma that they will be here before long (Miramar that is). Of course, they are just rumors, but they did just buy loads more land out here.

One of my favorite stations was McConnell AFB. We lived close to the take off path of the B-1 bombers. They took off with four jets on afterburner and would nearly shake the pictures off the walls. It was exhilarating every time.

I don't get people who complain about military aircraft near their houses, especially the high performance variety. They're not just cool, they make me proud to be an American.
