[edit] Rename

This needs to be "Top Gun". The name is not an acronym. Update: I can accept United States Navy Fighter Weapons School if that's it's official name. However, please note US Navy usage of "Top Gun": 162 "Top Gun" vs 43 "Topgun" or "TOPGUN". Also, it is well-established publishing practice not to capitalize things that are not acronymns or initialisms, regardless of the namer's preference. --Tysto 23:20, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

  • OPPOSE — the shorthand U.S. Navy notation for the Naval Fighter Weapons School at NAS Miramar, Calif. was/is "TOPGUN." If a move is necessary, it would be from TOPGUN to United States Navy Fighter Weapons School. Mustang dvs 19:11, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose - if it needs to be renamed should be to something like Top Gun (fighter weapons school) or to its full name United States Navy Fighter Weapons School. that way Top Gun can remain as a disambiguation page.

[edit] F-21

TOPGUN never operated the F-21. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.65.24.33 (talk • contribs).

[edit] F-5

There's still F-5s operating out of NAS Fallon - here's a picture of one from summer 2005 - [1]. I would presume those F-5s are used for TOPGUN instruction, although the article implies that only F-16s and F-18s are in use. 170.130.6.10 21:38, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

That's because those F-5s are operated by VFC-13. Hence the "VFC-13" on the aircraft's spine. This is a reserve adversary squadron based at NAS Fallon. TOPGUN flies only the F-16A/B and F/A-18A/B.
