The original film featured the (once) very real "Fightertown U.S.A." as Naval Air Station Miramar was known. On 1 October 1997, control of Miramar was turned over to the U.S. Marine Corps, their fighter planes, transport aircraft, and helicopters, thus retiring the "Fightertown U.S.A." nickname. However in Top Gun Maverick, "Fightertown U.S.A." still exists and moved 19 miles southwest of Miramar to Naval Air Station North Island. While this Naval Air Station is real, it is not the real home of Topgun nor did it inherit the former Miramar moniker. So unlike the original, the "Fightertown U.S.A." featured in the sequel is fictional. It's likely that NAS North Island was used because the real Top Gun location is now NAS Fallon east of Reno in Nevada. It would not have made sense to have a southern California beach scene if their base is in the middle of the Nevada desert.
