 Installation Details
Naval Air Station Fallon now serves as the primary aircraft familiarization and weapons training site for Navy Carrier Air Groups and Marine Corps Air Groups prior to deployment to the carrier or air-ground combat operation air group.
Although the air station is relatively small in size the excellent training facilities, four bombing ranges, electronic warfare range, 14,000-foot runway and clear flying weather more than 300 days per year, make NAS Fallon one of the premier Naval installations.
The end of the war eliminated the need for the air strip and Fallon was placed in caretaker status until the Korean War, when it was once again designated an Auxiliary Landing Field for Naval Air Station, Alameda.

 The Grumman F-14 Tomcat
Initial deliveries of production Tomcats to the Navy took place in October 1972, with the aircraft arriving at Naval Air Station (NAS) Miramar in California.
In the early 1960s, American Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara wanted to promote commonality of equipment between different US armed services, and he believed that the Navy could fill their requirement for a fleet-defense interceptor with a navalized version of the Air Force's "variable geometry" or "swing-wing" General Dynamics F-111A tactical fighter.
Although the advanced strike Tomcat concepts had featured wing pylons to carry weapons, the standard Tomcat was restricted to carriage of four bombs on munitions adapters mounted on the Phoenix stores stations.
