The U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Miramar is an essential component
of America's homeland security, as aircraft from this base patrols
the country's border with Mexico as well as the international
waters of the open Pacific. The Marines operated part of the base
during World War II, when their island-hopping campaign was crucial
to Allied victory in the Far East. The Navy took over operations on
the base after the war and until 1997, when the Marines regained
control and established both jet and helicopter squadrons there --
the aviation combat units of the 3rd Marine Air Wing and the
reserves of the 4th Marine Air Wing. During the Navy years, the
popular 1986 Tom Cruise movie Top Gun was filmed on the base, which
is the largest singular piece of dedicated land on the City of San
Diego map.
