TOPGUN TODAY

Probably the most revered community in naval aviation, NSAWC (Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center) is home to today’s TOPGUN. Made famous by the movie when the program was still based at NAS Miramar, these days, students and instructors report to NAS Fallon about an hour east of Reno, Nevada. During my visit there in August, I was fortunate enough to get two sorties in the F-16N Viper. While the Hornet is a great photo ship, the Viper is even better. For the same reasons it excels for the pilot, shooting from the back seat is improved thanks to the low cockpit side rails and a more forward canopy bow affording a greater forward-looking capability. The following images clearly demonstrate the amazing clarity of the Viper’s fields of view.
Enjoy!
