    Miramar “Air Force Base”??! Hope no Marines watch this or you’re in trouble 😉

    FYI Miramar was not an "Airforce Base" It was called "Naval Air station" and now is a Marine Corp Base . My hubby was in the in the Navy for 25 years and we still go on the bases as retiree (do not have be Active duty )and dependant. They move Charlie's house about one block from from where it use to be at the road coming up from the beach parking on that corner they actually shot Tom C coming up that road to her house. They also made amistake in the movie left the "for rent" sign in front of it in the movie. I own a home 4 blocks from there now . We were staioned in San Diego 3 times. My fav duty station are in San Diego. Thanks for doing this . In seeing this I realized been to ball of these and lived by many! We viewed the first Top Gun movie in the Base Theater when My hubby was in flight school I, before the movie came out to the public. for some reason wanted their opinions LOL. I know there were a few chuckles about the fitted flight suits ect.

      I saw the Blue Angels fly at Miramar. I was going to an A School at the time at North Island and a guy who was on a helicopter squadron had to go talk about it at Miramar and asked if I wanted to go so I did that, I had a great time in San Diego I went to a C school there after awhile too.

      Top Gun 2 was filmed alot on North Island Navy base. Where I went to “A” School before I got dropped from the school. I can’t wait to see Top Gun 3. I’m going to be at the very 1st showing where I’m living.

    Hello from South Korea. Thank you for your kind tour which is awsome. I’ve been San Diego for 6 months when I was 23, so this video brings me back to my beautiful memories. At that time, I haven’t seen the TOP GUN, so I didn’t know that the film was taken in San Diego. Yesterday, I’ve watched the TOP GUN maverick, so now I know that this amazing movie’s places are San Diego! Should have known this movie earlier! iI miss the Lajolla cove, mission bay and coronado island. I miss those beautiful beaches which is so peaceful. I miss San diego, the 23-year-old me and miss my friends :-) Hopefully, someday I can visit those places. Thank you again and have a nice SD life :-)!

    Thanks for this. Though I loved Top Gun when it came out in 1986 (went to the theater 6 times to see it), on my visit to the San Diego area in 1992, I didn't think to look these locations up! Being from the UK I don't drop in on San Diego too often....so, thanks again!

    I really love and miss San Diego. It will always be home in my heart. I really enjoyed your video. There is one more location you didn't mention. If you take Harbor Drive from the airport into downtown and look to the water as Harbor drive bends to the right, you'll see where Maverick and Charlie were riding his motorcycle on the sidewalk just beyond the Coast Guard station. This is where Kelly McGillis repeats Meg Ryan's "take me to bed or lose me forever" line.

    I’m not so sure that those scenes were shot in an actual locker room. It looks like one large room with a skylight. My guess is the filmmakers simply planted two rows of lockers with a large mirror at the end, because you can see that they’re the only two rows in the entire room. The shower area(30 seconds Wolfman….)was probably the actual shower area at the Plunge. But the locker room appears like they filmed it in a very large room somewhere at the Plunge. JMO

      You may be right. Although they may look a lot differently today then they did in the 80’s

    Too bad you couldn’t get onto North Island. There are two spots from the original and one from the sequel clustered together at Breakers Beach. (Officer’s club exterior, Top Gun graduation scene, The Hard Deck bar)
    I’ve been out there quite a few times.
    And the original movie used the actual Top Gun hangar at Miramar as a location. Top Gun was there pre-9/11 and you could just wander around in there at the time. If someone stopped you then you could just say you wanted to buy merch, lol. The merch was kept in the office of some Chief or Master Chief upstairs.

      @@BernMcGovern wasn’t the bar scene at the beginning of the movie one that they built on North Island Naval Station? I’m almost certain that when I went to an “A” School on North Island that I had to run a mile and a half close to where the bar was built on the North Island Naval Base? I was in the Navy for almost 8 years.
