On Tuesday this week the Reno Corvette club wrangled a tour of NAS Fallon, home of the Top Gun weapons school . We arrived with 38 cars and after the expected security inspection we entered the base. The first stop was the observation deck of the control tower. The Public information officer told us some of the facts about the base, It was originally established about 1942 because the were fearful of another Japanese attack along the west coast. Fallon is about 300 miles from the coast. An added benefit was that while the costal areas often experienced foggy conditions, Fallon was nearly always clear. We were also shown one of the debriefing rooms, similar to what the air crews would visit after a mission along with a simulation of the video. After the briefing we enjoyed lunch at the officers club. This was on of the best events for THE RCC members all year. Corvette and Naval FA-18 fighter aircraft
