NSAWC (now NAWDC) consolidated three commands into a single command structure under a flag officer on 11 July 1996 to enhance aviation training effectiveness. The Naval Strike Warfare Center (STRIKE "U"), based at NAS Fallon since 1984, was amalgamated with the Navy Fighter Weapons School ("TOPGUN") and the Carrier Airborne Early Warning Weapons School (TOPDOME). Both schools had moved from NAS Miramar as a result of a Base Realignment and Closure decision in 1993 which transferred that installation back to the Marine Corps as MCAS Miramar.

A mission built around replicating the last dogfight from the movie Top Gun.
Iceman and Slider are in trouble!

V1.3 Update -  F14A

Lots of sound clips built in, fun easy mission.
*** Jester *** Turn crew communication to no voice in the Jester wheel!

UPDATED 03/08/2024 (March 8th, 2024):
I thought it would be nice to make a helmet for our favorite dumb@ss. Based off of LCDR Heatherly's helmet from Top Gun, feel free to slap this helmet in any of your RIO seats. That being said, please download from here, instead of handing it out to your friends. Thanks!
