[BEEN ANSWERED] NAS Fallon

[Kludo]

Is NAS Fallon represented in this DLC?

 

Its where NSAWC (TOPGUN) is at now, and also VFC-13 (F5E's) are there.

No, the map is super tiny.

Looked it up and the map needs to almost double in size to get up to Carson. ED is working on Tonopha and some long missed airport up there :thumbup:

Thank you for the info, Fallon is only about 266 mi from Nellis.

 

During Red Flag, they usually stage some of the assets at Fallon.

 

 

 

Naval Air Station Fallon or NAS Fallon (IATA: NFL, ICAO: KNFL, FAA LID: NFL) is the United States Navy's premier air-to-air and air-to-ground training facility. It is located southeast of the city of Fallon in western Nevada in the United States. Since 1996, it has been home to the Naval Fighter Weapons School (TOPGUN), and the surrounding area contains 240,000 acres (97,000 ha) of bombing and electronic warfare ranges. It is also home to the Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center (NSAWC/NAWDC), which includes TOPGUN, the Carrier Airborne Early Warning Weapons School (CAEWWS) and the Navy Rotary Wing Weapons School. Navy SEAL Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) training also takes place here.

 

The airfield is named Van Voorhis Field in honor of Lieutenant Bruce Van Voorhis (1908-1943) who was awarded a posthumous Medal of Honor.

Yes, it would for sure be a interesting airport to have :thumbup:

Ive been there several times, everytime we do work ups (as an airwing) for deployment we go there a couple of times as part of our work up cycle. There isn't a whole lot to do, but the training is good and always a good time.

[HiJack]

Yes I see you are of the lucky one's that got to fly these impressive aircraft's. Wish I was there also :yes:

You can't beat 25 cent craps at The Bird Farm!

I don't think its there. NTC Ft. Irwin, USMC MAGWTC 29 Palms, NAS Fallon, and part of Ft. Bliss form a contigious US Government land for ground maneuver and air-ground, and air-air training.

Actually the map is huge, and Fallon is on this map, unfortunately it is not modeled. The area where Fallon is located is towards the edge, and the imagery is very lowrez. In case you were wondering, You can also fly over China Lake and Edwards AFB, neither of which are modeled. NTC Ft. Irwin is also on this map, good news here as ED DOES plan to develop out the NTC in the future some time.

Edit: I have revised the Google map I posted current to 07-13-2016. I am not sure if E.D. updated and enlarged the map size, but it does in fact cover even more area than I originally thought.
