Marine Corps Air Station Miramar operates under dedicated ZIP code 92145 in San Diego County, California. Originally opened as Camp Kearny in 1917, this sprawling installation is best remembered as "Fightertown USA," home of the Navy's legendary TOPGUN fighter pilot program from 1969 to 1996 and the setting for the Tom Cruise film Top Gun. Following the 1993 BRAC recommendations, the base transferred from the Navy to the Marine Corps on October 1, 1997. Today it serves as home to the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, the aviation element of I Marine Expeditionary Force.
The 20.73-square-mile installation stretches across Northeastern San Diego near Scripps Ranch. The 2020 Census counted 6,057 residents, with 100% living in group quarters (including the Consolidated Brig Miramar for military prisoners). The median age of 21.7 years reflects the young enlisted and junior officer population. Street names on base preserve aviation heritage: Mitscher, Regulus, Polaris, and Elrod honor naval aviation history.
