.................the temperature is 110 degrees.

Welcome to Miramar NAS as it was in the 1980s....
By Mile High Studios

Parking full of F-14s, A-4s and F-8s......Top Gun Classroom is actually included
in the hangar with the flag.
...

I don't have an F-5 at the moment, so I used Dino's F-14 in an aggressor scheme to do some formation flying with.
...

Out over the bay.
...

Into the sun.
...

Flyover.
...

Look who I found doin' some spotting........
...
They gave you your choice of duty son, anything, anywhere. Do you believe that shit? Where do you think you wanna go?

I thought of being an instructor, sir.

Top Gun?

Yes, sir.

God help us.
 

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Freaking awesome! Just as I remember it! In the second shot... in the approach to the small strip, or "carrier deck" there is a mountain... just to the left of that mountain is where I grew up as a kid!
 

My specs... A hard drive, motherboard, graphics card, some memory, a keyboard, mouse, and monitor - in other words, nothing special.
