Top Gun, and Top Gun: Maverick are just two of the several movies filmed here at Inyokern Airport, California. I worked there years ago as the "line boy," prepping individuals for their various flights by taxiing and fueling and readying their airplanes for flight. The airport had been a part of the U.S. Navy prior to the Naval Ordnance Test Station (N.O.T.S.) moving to its current China Lake location.
