We rolled in very late and had to leave out very early on Tuesday, so we really didn't get to see all the things on base. But it didn't take long Tuesday morning to appreciate Fallon's claim to fame... NAS Fallon is the training facility for the Navy 's TOP GUNS! The Nevada desert sky was filled with jets bright and early. They roared across the sky, at least 6 of them flying by, turning, banking, climbing, and diving. There was no mistaking that sound... it was the sound of freedom!
We were fortunate to be positioned perfectly for reveille outside the Administrator building. Three young seaman did a beautiful job raising the colors at exactly 8 AM (the jets had been flying long before then).
I also snapped a picture of the Chapel at Fallon... "God's Oasis in the Desert."
